A veteran gardener author reflects on Carm en Aiello in Hamilton Township and Giuseppe Bilancio, both centenarian neighbors, celebrating lifelong passion for seed saving and diverse vegetables. He shares tips on saving tomato, pepper, eggplant, and lettuce seeds, notes disease and pest challenges, and invites readers to write for advice at Box 94 Ringoes NJ 08551.
Jefferson County horticulturalist Gary Lee outlines pruning practices for summer bearing red raspberries after harvest and dormant pruning in spring. He advises thinning canes to three or four per foot, not cutting tips until spring, and not removing more than a quarter of cane length. Fall bearing raspberries should be mowed to soil level in late fall to boost cane numbers and control pests. Black raspberries need both summer and dormant pruning, pinching shoots at 24 inches, then cutting side branches to 12 inches in early spring, and selecting four to five strong new canes. Sanitation is urged to deter picnic beetles, including a beer trap in ground holes.
Jefferson County horticulture agent Gary Lee explains hints of early blight and septoria leaf spot in tomatoes.
