by Rachel Kudrick 10 May '18

10 May '18

These were so popular that I decided to order a couple more varieties and offer the extras up for sale. All bareroot plants, ready to be transplanted in containers, hanging baskets or in-ground. Descriptions below. $3 each or 2 for $5. Call/text gets response much more quickly than email. Rachel 412-251-9759 Tri Star -- a day-neutral variety, producinv firm, medium-sized fruit throughout the growing season, with the heaviest yield in the fall. Day-neutral strawberries are not affected by day length, allowing for continuous fruiting anytime temperatures range between 35 and 85°F. One “Tristar” plant yields about 1 quart of berries a year for up to four years with proper care. Mara Des Bois (Pictured) -- Mara Des Bois produces small to medium fruit, and contains the highest flavor and fragrance of any everbearer. Berries have an attractive red color with a high gloss. In full sun, hybrid 'Mara' bears heavily throughout the season and throws vigorous runners that make it especially productive for home gardens and containers White Carolina (Pictured) -- An unusual, hard-to-find strawberry, White Carolina is actually a cross of two strawberry species, and is often called a "pineberry." Plants are vigorous and send out numerous runners. Berries are white, ornately speckled with red seeds, and are a bit bigger than other pineberry varieties. Aroma is outstanding and the pineapple flavor is pleasant and mild. Protect from direct hot sun to keep fruits from developing more pinkish hues.

Gardening class: Transplanting
by Rachel Kudrick 10 May '18

10 May '18

Tonight's From Planning to Canning: Gardening in the Cheap class is a must-have if you are ever going to add plants to your property, whether in-ground or container. We'll cover the hows & whys of transplanting. We will be working specifically with some vegetables and annual flowers, but the information covered is applicable to trees, shrubs, perennials, etc. We'll talk about plants that are easier or more difficult to transplant, shortcuts and tips. There will also be hand-on transplanting, with students taking 2-3 plants home with them. (If students wish to purchase extra plants, they will be $1-$2 each.) Supplies will be provided, but if you wish to use a particular container, or bring any plants to class to transplant with supervision, feel free to do so. Class is $10/person, cash, check or major credit card. No charge for those on a limited income. Class meets Thursday evening, 6:30-8:30pm. Please call or text for location. Rachel 412-251-9759

U-haul trailer hitch for Subaru
by Elisabeth Crago 09 May '18

09 May '18

I had this hitch mounted on 2016 Subaru Crosstrek for less than six months. I used it for a bike rack probably fewer than 6 times. The car got totaled by a deer (no one hurt) but the hitch does not fit on the car I now have. I don’t know if it would fit other cars. The model # is 75359. So—if you need a 2” hitch, this could be a great deal for you. New $169 Asking $50. The guys at U-haul on Washington Blvd (or elsewhere) will install it for under $100. Elisabeth
