Russell, Club Reporter | Cherhill 4-H Multi Club

Hi everybody, I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I know we had an awesome Christmas party, we played a lot of cool games, had an ugly sweater and funky slipper contest. We also had a delicious potluck.

Before the party we had an awe-some fall. Our quilting members went on a field trip to the Black Gold Quilt Patch Guild quilt show in Leduc. Our beef members went on a tour of Schmitdt Livestock LTD feedlot facilities near Bar-rhead. Our sheep members did something really cool and went to Bohnets arena to watch stock dogs work sheep. Leadership/foods members made gingerbread hous-es, and our pheasant member had some of his pheasants come back after they were released .

We had a very nice awards night, and we would like to thank all those who sponsored awards. We also went tire recycling and would like to thank everybody who donat-ed tires. We had a very successful Mundare Sausage fundraiser thank you every body who supported us.

I hope you all had a Merry Christ-mas and have a Happy New Year.

SANGUDO HORTICULTURAL CLUB2017 YEAR IN REVIEW

Submitted by Brenda Og-den

First our upcoming events for 2018:

January 22-2018 Lori Birchill will be the presenter for a walk in my garden. A remembrance of green days during our snowy season.

January 27-2018 11th annual Gar-den Days. Morgan Webb the radio host on 630 Ched’s Sunday Morn-ing Garden Show will be present-ing Envy for Rural Gardeners and Granny Knows Best. The location has changed for the event to the Sangudo Community School 5131-53Ave Sangudo.

The Year 2017 in Review:January 23 - Carolyn Bajer had

pictures of her garden and gave us information on how she created some of her special features. It was good to see the green season again on the screen. We also took home catalogues so that we could make our wish lists for the upcoming year.

January 28 - Sanqudo Horticultur-al Club’s 10th Annual Garden Club Day had a wonderful crowd turn-out. Thank-you to all who attended. Our guest speakers were Stephen Legaree from the Alberta Urban Garden Series who shared tips from his organic vegetable garden, illus-trated with clips from his YouTube videos. Stephen investigates the Science behind gardening methods, practices and products. There were also two speakers from Atco Blue Flame Kitchens who talked about food preservation.

February 27 - Rose and Orry Rumball of Rumballing Acres Farms of Peers talked about bees. Because honeybees are not native to our environment here in Canada, they can not survive here without human support. If you are inter-ested in taking a bee keeper course you must register by November for the January course. The # is 310-FARM.

March 27 - Ken Willis the Head of Horticulture at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden talk-ed about - Planning, Planting and Maintenance of Trees. He had some main messages: From the start put the right plant in the right place. When you do transplant a tree water it. Also when transplanting a tree make sure the flare at the base of the tree is at ground level or 2-3 inches

above it. When digging the hole to put your tree in; don’t dig the hole any deeper than the root ball, en-large the sides 2 to 3 times as wide as the rootball, and slope the sides of the hole in towards the bottom. Staking the tree is not required. The tree will develop more naturally if it moves in the wind.

April 24 - Amy Kremeniuk from Greenthumb Greenhouse, north of Evansburg, showed us how to plant succulents in containers. Succulents are pretty forgiving and take a long time to outgrow a pot. When ar-ranging them in a pot plant the big-gest one first. Add moss, rocks, or sand to give the pot a finished look. Succulents like to be on the dry side; you water them once a month, and don’t put them in full sun. They are easy to propagate.

May 22 - The Sundial Park and Sangudo spring clean-up. This is a way to spruce up Sangudo with the spirit of community connection.

May 27 - The Horticultural Club’s annual plant sale. We have both pe-rennials, annuals and edible plants for sale yearly, and our membership who attend are willing to answer questions from the public.

June 20 - Summer Solstice in Helen’s Garden. The location of our meeting changed when we spent some time in our club mem-ber, Helen’s yard. Unfortunately the day was a wet one, but Helen’s garden was worth viewing despite the slight discomfort, and her table preparations were great!

July 13 - Orchard Tour and Tour of Sunrise Gardens- Dawn Boi-leau owns an organic microgreen and shoot farm near Onoway. This successful business supplies to an organic box delivery in Edmonton and Calgary, to Blushlane Organics, Planet Organics, Jugo Juice, Boost-er Juice and three restaurants plus the Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market in Edmonton which runs year round. The indoor growing space for their production is 3000 sq ft which can grow nearly 1000 trays at a time. There is space on the farm for out-door annual and perennial garden beds that benefit by using natural techniques and permaculture ideas. The staff are actively building the soil and composting and the indoor plants benefit from the composted tea. Dawn brought pea seeds and growing medium to the October meeting at Sangudo where the club

members took home our own tray of seeds to produce shoots. The club members who went on the tour also were sent home with either a tray of Sunflower or pea seeds for our own taste of shoots.

Mel Kirsh is a member of the Uni-versity of Alberta Botanic Garden fruit growers group. His orchard in Corsair Cove is around five years old. The trees in the yard weren’t too tall and the fruit was more easily picked off of the trees. The orchard was fenced in to keep the deer out. There were various brand names among his cherry, saskatoon, apple, pear and apricot trees. Mel invited the club members on the tour to pick themselves a pail of saskatoon or cherry berries to take home with them. We were also encouraged to sample the different varieties of berries that were in season as we walked along the tour. Mel will be one of our guest speakers at a monthly meeting in 2018 pertaining to orchards.

August 21 - Shady Lane Estate Winery Tour and Tour of Clifford Osberg’s Pumpkin, Gourd and Squash patch. Both locations are south of Barrhead. It was hard to believe that there were so many varieties of squash and gourds that could be grown in our zone. Clif-ford had an interesting live wind-break consisting of corn plants, runner beans and sunflower plants. Inside of his first separate garden spot there were also hinged corral panels in an upside down V to give his bean and squash plants a way to grow up off of the ground. Clifford had a second location built upon a well composed and sunny hillside with many more varieties of gourds, squash and pumpkins. Before we left his farm Clifford showed us a dried out gooseneck squash that looked like an Alpine horn. It was interesting how light the gourd had become in it’s dried out state.

Edie and Dan Zdrodowski and children are the owners of one of the handful of cottage wineries that are sprouting up in Alberta. They grow strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb, and saskatoons that they use to produce their wines. Other berries that they grow are seabuck-thorne, haskap and sour cherries. The strawberries that they grow are on raised platforms in 200 ft long tunnels. This creates a humid warm greenhouse that cuts down on

weeding. Our tour took us into the area where they produce the wine in a big vat and the bottling process was explained to us. Before we left we had the chance to taste some of the wine.

September 25 - Use what you grow and share. We brought a pot-luck dish made with something we grew in our gardens and its corresponding recipe. We had an informal discussion and we talked about the results of the Horticulture Club’s trial plant of the year which was the Tomatillo. They are related to tomatoes. Two plants are needed to cross pollinate each other to pro-duce fruit. Used to make green sal-sa. Can be grown in container pots or buried deep in the garden when planted. There were mixed feel-ings about the plant. Not everyone would grow it again. Our member-ship is spread out across wide dis-tances, so the gardening challenges were different for each member of the group. Some gardens did very well with an increase of moisture, while others got drowned out or had hail, and a few were too dry. The fruit trees of the area produced an excessive crop in 2017.

October 23 - Microgreens and Sprouts. Dawn Boileau of Sunrise Gardens. The top five easiest seeds to grow into shoots by beginners are Sunflowers. Wheatgrass, Peas, Radish and Broccoli although the last one is a little harder to grow. The benefit of shoots especially in our snowy climate is that the shoots have a nutritional density of at least 6 times their grown counterpart, and so can provide rich nutrition in our winter diets. Use only certified or-ganic sprouting seeds to grow your shoots as they are washed more thoroughly and have more E-Co-li checks to make the seeds food safe quality. The growing medium and the trays you grow the seeds in must also be sterile to ensure a food safe product. Shoots are harvested at 5-14 days and microgreens are harvested at 14-28 days.

November 27 - Christmas Gath-ering. We were armchair travelers during a virtual tour of the Butchart Gardens by presenter Lorraine Tay-lor, Lac Ste Anne County horticul-turist. We also had a Chinese gift exchange and an excellent potluck supper.

Our best to everyone in the New Year!
