Tillamook County Master Gardener Learning Garden is Open for Fair Week

Submitted By: tillamookmastergardener@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Tillamook County Master Gardeners’ Learning Garden is a Must See during your visit to the Tillamook County Fair this week.

Visitors to the Learning Garden will be greeted by a dazzling display of dahlias. In keeping with the theme ‘Let Freedom Ring’, the blueberries and red raspberries are producing and just the right height for the kids to sample. The petunia bed is showing off the US Flag with red, white and blue flowers along with a very patriotic vegetable bed.

What is wrong with my tomato! What’s Bugging my Vegetables? Poster board displays in the Hoop House will answer those questions and more. See examples of raised bed and container gardening plus native plants and varieties to attract pollinators to your garden. Potted Dahlias will be available for a donation.

The Extension Master Gardener Program is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The program originated at Washington State University in 1973 and has grown to over 86,000 volunteers in 49 states. In 2022 there were 2,276 active Master Gardener volunteers directing service to more than 78,713 Oregonians. Statewide Oregon Master Gardeners donated an estimated 27 tons of fresh produce, harvested from Master Gardener-managed community and demonstration gardens to local food banks and food pantries.

Tillamook Master Gardener Hosts will be in the Learning Garden from 10 am to 7pm each day and welcome your questions. Enjoy a quiet place to sit in the shade and enjoy our beautiful garden.

Maybe you’ve never seen it or maybe you’ve watched it a million times, Stop Making Sense never gets old and is being remastered and re-released this month www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/talking-heads-stop-making-sense-returning-theaters-soundtrack-reissue-1234697972/amp/

Director Jonathan Demme captures the frantic energy and artsy groove of Talking Heads in this concert movie shot at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in 1983. The band’s frontman, David Byrne, first appears on an empty stage, armed with only an acoustic guitar, and is gradually joined by bassist Tina Weymouth, drummer Chris Frantz, keyboardist Jerry Harrison and a cadre of backup singers as they perform the band’s hits, culminating in an iconic performance featuring Byrne in an enormous suit.

Bring what you need: blankets, chairs, drinks and/or snacks. Be prepared to get up and dance! Costumes are encouraged.

Monday August 7th.
Free and open to all.

Let’s keep trying in a small county

Submitted By: codger817@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Let’s keep trying this in a small town/county, meeting once a week for a civil discussion. There will be a zoom meeting every Friday at 9AM and every Saturday at 10AM for “reds”, “blues”, and “in-betweens”. We’ve grown to a group of 8, but still limited to us 5 “blues” and “in-betweens”. We really would like some “reds” to join in. “Blues” sometime stereotype “others” as stupid and evil. It’s absolutely not the right thing to do, but sometimes it’s hard to stop unless “others” step up and represent themselves. Simple ground rules, 1. Everybody brings their best manners. 2. Nobody talks for more than 4 minutes at a stretch. 3. Nobody comes to win an argument or change somebody’s mind. 4. Listening is as important as speaking. I’d like to say this was all my idea, but I was inspired by option 5 of the Braver Angels “Rise for America” program. braverangels.org/rise/ Here’s the link for zoom meeting. If anybody is interested in different time/day contact Jim Heffernan at codger817@gmail.com The invite link for Friday 9AM meeting is us06web.zoom.us/j/82147366055?pwd=VTU1UWVzYnUxOC8zWE1qRUkxRUJhUT09
