Cereus: a cactus that blooms just a few nights a year
I recently had the honor of being invited to what sounded like a “serious” little party. Actually, it was a “cereus” party, named for a night-blooming cactus. This party was called at the spur of the moment to coincide with the plant’s blooming, which occurs for just a few nights each year.
LEE REICH
AN UGLY DUCKLING MOST OF THE YEAR A cereus cactus is not much to look at when it’s not in bloom. The spineless cactus being honored at the party I attended had pods of flat, shiny leaves jointed together. Through winter, I was told, it looked downright unhap-
py. And cereus is no small plant that can be spirited away into some quiet corner when it’s looking its worst. It quickly grows to enormous proportions. The plant I saw was in a hanging basket with the tips of its stems dangling on one side 5 feet across from those on the other side. Cereus will survive pruning, but must be allowed to grow large if it’s going to make flowers. It also demands prime real estate in and around the home. See Garden p. 2D
In this 2015 photo, Tom Merriman stands behind a monarch in his butterfly atrium at his nursery in Vista, Calif. Milkweed has long been considered a nuisance on North American farmlands but now, more than 100 farmers in Quebec and Vermont are planting it in their fields to help restore the declining population of monarchs, which use that plant exclusively for their eggs and to feed the caterpillars. The farmers are also tapping a new market for the milkweed fibers. (AP photo)
A makeover for milkweed, for the sake of butterflies
By CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press QUEBEC CITY — For generations, North American farmers have despised milkweed and done their best to rid their lands of it. “I hate to have milkweed in my strawberry field,” Nathalie Leonard says from her farm by the Quebec village of Lac-du-Cerf. So why does she have 60 acres of milkweed growing on purpose? It’s for the sake of butterflies — the iconic monarchs. And for a chance to turn milkweed into profit. “Every weed,” she says, “is only a weed because it’s in the wrong place.” Leonard and her partners in Monark, a co-operative of farmers through Quebec and into Vermont, hope milkweed now has found its rightful place in their fields. Intrigued by the notion of helping to restore the sinking population of monarch butterflies — and persuaded by the stirrings of a new market — these farmers began See Milkweed p. 2D
Blueberry farmers partner with Chassell Township Schools By LINDSAY MENSCH Community Food Systems Intern MSU Upper Peninsula Research and Extension Center, North Farm CHASSELL — Students at Chassell Township Schools are surrounded by educators who care about providing meaningful opportunities for learning. One of these teachers, Mary Markham, involves students in experiences beyond the typical classroom lecture. “I really like to involve (a) student in projects that are real-life situations,” Markham said. “I teach a nature skills class where students have to try all kinds of things, like recycling, knot tying, composting and starting seedlings that they can take home to plant. Hopefully some of the skills (they learn) will become lifelong skills.” Many of these nature skills can be applied at one place in particular: the farm. The average age of the American farmer is rising; the majority of farm operators are between 55 and 64 years old, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2012 Census of Agriculture. Closing the generational gap in our food system is essential for the continued success of the sustainable agriculture movement. Farmers like John and Lynn Gierke, of Gierke Blueberry Farm, are aware of the future needs of their farm, which informs the way they operate now. “We have operated our farm for less than one generation, so we do not have first-hand experience in multigenerational approaches from a farm operation perspective. We do, however, think about this farm operating after we are finished and our aim is that it continue to evolve as a smallscale entity that strives to be environmentally and socially sustainable,” said John, a Michigan Technological University professor. The farm, located in Chassell, is run as a “you-pick” operation from August through October. This marketing strategy aids John and Lynn in terms of labor — they don’t have to worry about hiring a harvest crew — and it allows the public to learn more about growing blueberries. “A significant fraction of those who visit our farm have not had much

hands-on exposure to agriculture and so the nature of our farm activities are well-suited for integrating educational features either with posters or inperson interactions,” said John. Markham, a long-time friend of the Gierkes, sees the connections between the social and environmental concerns of farming. She believes educators need to encourage young people to practice the lessons they learn in her nature skills course. “We have moved away from an agricultural society and I really hope that I can get students to move back to a growing culture,” she said. Markham has played an important role in motivating one of her students to grow his knowledge of sustainable agriculture with the Gierkes this summer. “I enjoy the work on a farm, since I grew up on one,” said Wyatt Gerner.
He is a Chassell Township School student participating in experiential learning at the farm this summer. He is helping the Gierkes monitor their farm for the presence of spotted wing drosophila, an invasive fly that impacts blueberry yields. Gerner is also working on a GPS project with John to map when the different blueberry varieties on the farm ripen; this is also key for managing spotted wing drosophila populations. The pest in question is a fruit fly of East Asian origin. Spotted wing drosophila flies have been spreading from the western United States to the east coast for the past decade. They have been found in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula in traps near grapes, berry crops, cherries and other fruit See Farming p. 2D

Diaper bags get a stylish update By KIM COOK Associated Press In generations past, the array of baby paraphernalia needed by new parents was carried in cumbersome totes of heavy plastic, often emblazoned with prints and patterns that spoke more to infants than to adults. But the style stork has delivered some smart-looking new options for moms and dads, with clever features to match. The diaper bag — what some have termed “the mobile nursery” — typically has a bunch of compartments that are good if you’re super-organized but can be frustrating if you’re in a hurry to find the wipes, teething gel or pacifier. Many new designs have fewer pockets, or consist of several separate mini bags. The best designs still have

Spill-proof pockets, a changing pad and a few easy-to-access compart-
ments make any outing less rigorous, so here are a few bags to consider: KF Baby’s Bohemian diaper bag solves the soreshoulder issue by supplying both cross-body and shoulder straps. Besides a capacious main bag, there’s an insulated bottle holder and changing pad, all printed with a neutral-hued boho pattern that give it style chops beyond babyhood. Soho Designs offers multipiece matching sets, available at Walmart, that include a padded changing pad, various accessory and bottle cases, and even a small purse.

clearing land or ripping out cash crops and turning precious acres over to a plant they’d previously seen as a nuisance. The milkweed makeover began when researchers in Quebec transformed the plant’s silky fibers into a high-end insulation material for winter clothing and advanced other commercial uses for it, like sound insulation and absorption for oil spills. Winter coats stuffed with milkweed fiber reached outdoor retailers in 2016, fetching $800 or more apiece. The Canadian Coast Guard tried milkweed garb and liked it. And as a side benefit, the distinctive honey from milkweed fields is prized. Yet the company formed to process and market the fiber collapsed last year, forcing the farmers who grow it to step in and try to make a go of the whole milkweed initiative. They’re on track for perhaps their best harvest in the five or so years since the milkweed experiment began, but where the fiber will

trees. Fruit growers have good reason to be concerned about the flies, since they directly impact the salability of their crops. Spotted wing drosophila lay eggs inside of ripening fruit, and fly larvae inside of any fruit will make it impossible to sell. Monitoring for spotted wing drosophila is one of the most critical steps in reducing the impact of these pests, for picking the crop just as it ripens or spraying insecticides at key intervals can reduce pest pressure. The success of the Gierkes “you-pick” operation is dependent on their ability to monitor and manage pests like spotted wing drosophila. While they have not yet detected the insect in their fields, their proactivity is critical in running a sustainable operation. Guiding customers to the berries as they ripen is essential for them to continue providing berries
go after the fall is uncertain. The orange and black monarchs are wholly dependent on milkweed. The plant is the only host for their eggs and sole sustenance for the caterpillars, which feed on milky secretions from the leaves. Milkweed has been in rapid retreat, crowded by urban development, attacked along roadways, and driven from pastoral landscapes by herbicides that spare resistant corn and soybeans. A ritual of autumn — cracking the dry pods to watch the seed-bearing white fluff escape and catch the winds — has faded. But in recent years, as the plight of the monarchs became more pronounced, communities, schools and gardeners began planting patches of milkweed along roads and public buildings and in backyards to give the butterfly a fighting chance. A 2017 study at the University of Guelph in Ontario found there’s nothing more effective in this effort than the all-you-can-eat buffet of a farmer’s field of milkweed — visible from the sky, rooted in rich soil, and isolated from traffic
for the community. “On our farm we do not spray pesticides so our crop is vulnerable,” John said. “This approach has worked for us for some time because we are a small operation and we do not depend on the value of our crop for our livelihood, and we have been very lucky to date.” Gerner will be in a great position to understand the impact of spotted wing drosophila both now and in the future. He says, “I would like to see how big the population of the spotted wing drosophila is when the blueberries ripen, and which varieties of blueberries they go for first.” By helping to map the data he collects from the farm, the Gierkes — and any future farmers on their land — will be able to use that information to make informed management decisions. In the fall, Gerner will have the opportunity to mentor his peers during a field day at the blueberry

and pollution. When University of Vermont agronomist Heather Darby first heard of Quebec’s initiative, from a man who called looking for Vermont farmers to join, she was thrown. Milkweed is toxic to livestock — one study says it gives cows “profound depression” on the rare chance they eat it. It’s been a mark of shame on farmlands, a sign of sloppy maintenance. “Oh gosh, here’s another one of those people with some crazy idea and he wants farmers to grow milkweed!” she remembered thinking. “But I listened.” After learning that hundreds of Quebec acres were already under milkweed production, she reached out to farmers in Vermont whom she considered innovators — people who would “want to listen, wouldn’t laugh too hard, might try it out.” Now, more than 100 farmers in Quebec and about a half dozen in Vermont are producing milkweed for Monark, of which Nathalie Leonard serves as president.
farm. What he learns this summer will give him the knowledge to explain the project to other students, as well as show them around the farm. This partnership between the Gierkes and Copper Country Intermediate School District is one of seven across the U.P. funded by a Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education grant and carried out by Michigan State University Upper Peninsula Research and Extension Center. The goal is to bring students, farmers, and teachers together to overcome an obstacle to sustainability in agriculture. “The public is aware that farmers work hard but they are not as familiar with how hard farmers have to think

For best growth, cereus needs a prominent spot in a sunny window through the cold months, then a partially sunny spot outdoors once the weather warms. In winter, this cactus needs to be kept on the dry side. It’s more able to recover from stems shriveled by underwatering than from stems rotted by overwatering. Because growth occurs mostly in the warmth months, summer is also when the plant wants to be fed. FRAGRANT AND BEAUTIFUL WHEN BLOOMING

For all of night-blooming cereus’ gawkiness, is it worth growing for just a few days of glory? Correction: a few nights of glory. The blossoms turn flaccid by daybreak, lingering a bit longer into morning only if temperatures are very cool. As I stepped out onto the terrace to meet the plant, I immediately was swept up in its sweet, musky aroma. The creamy white blossoms, each 5 inches across and comprised of layer upon layer of strappy petals, were as breathtaking to the eyes as to the nose. Pouring out of the center of each blossom was a filagree of stamens, also creamy white. Fat, spiny, expectant buds foretold more
blossoms to come later that evening. Some types of night-blooming cereus can be even more dramatic; there’s one with even larger blooms, up to a foot across. The plant of this species, botanically not really cereus, but hylocereus, is commensurately larger, and its stems have sharp, threecornered edges. By comparison, the nightblooming cereus that I saw is easy to accommodate. And if truth be told, not only was the little party in its honor not very serious, but neither is the plant, really. Botanically, its real name is epiphyllum. A number of cacti parade under the common name “nightblooming cereus.”
lated pockets so you can keep your own beverage cool while baby’s bottle is in the other. Pockets are lined in light-colored, antimicrobial material so you can find things easily. Tiny bottom pocket holes allow crumbs to drain out. Quiet magnetic closures (instead of Velcro) won’t wake baby. There are also bags designed for fathers. These are a little more macho than a carrier with dancing Disney characters or gamboling lambs. Some dads like the backpack style, which avoids sore shoulders and makes it easier to lug the baby or other items up front. Plus you can ask your walking partner to retrieve something from it without having to stop and drop. Quiksilver’s utilitarian black Daddy Daybag has an insulated front pocket for water or kidlet’s bottle, a tablet pocket and a fleece-lined hanging pocket.
Another no-nonsense option: Seattle-based Kinbuilt’s clean-lined diaper bag. With quiet-close zippers, no extraneous buckles or flaps, a waterproof bottom, a clever stayopen design structure, and handy cards to list contact, medicine and allergy info, this bag also fits tidily under airplane seats. If you’re up for something really designed for tough baby-tending battles, check out Tactical Baby Gear, founded by Bev Brodie in Bluffton, South Carolina. His militarystyled Deuce 2.0 bag made of rugged nylon can be customized with patches, as well as pouches that attach with military-grade MOLLE webbing. Bags are available in black, gray, coyote brown and camo. Other witty items in the line: a changing mat printed with “drop zone” and a target, and a compact, washable “dump pouch” for dirty diapers.
