You waited all season for that first red ripe tomato only to discover less-than-perfect fruit. Don't worry, you can still have a great harvest and improve things for next season. Blossom end rot is a common problem on the first set of fruit. The bottom of the tomato turns black. This is not caused by a disease but is the result of a calcium deficiency in the developing fruit. This deficiency is usually caused by fluctuations in water uptake by the plant. Fluctuating soil moisture, damage to the roots, excessive nitrogen fertilizer and high...

Hi, my name is Stacey. My husband John and I are the Emmanuel Baptist high school youth leaders. Usually we hold 4 fund raisers throughout the year. We prepare and serve meals that are paid for by donation. The funds we raise pay for kids to go to youth events (bowling, 4 wheeling, camping), buy group t shirts, bibles, and much more. This is our only source of funds. This year however, due to COVID-19 we are not allowed to serve meals. So that’s where the flamingos come in. We have 2 sets of f...
All your hard work is paying off with a bountiful harvest. Fresh produce is filling your garden, countertops, and refrigerator while the garden keeps producing more. Preserve some of your harvest to enjoy throughout the winter with some tried-and-true or updated variation of food preservation techniques. Hanging bundles of herbs to dry is a long-time practice that works. Harvest herbs in the morning just after the dew has dried off the leaves. Rinse, allow them to dry, and remove any damaged or dried leaves. Gather the dry herbs into small...

Enjoy the spicy heat hot peppers add to your meals without concern for the many myths surrounding these garden vegetables. Here are a few you may have heard but are not true. Growing both hot and sweet peppers in the garden will not add spicy heat to the sweet varieties. Peppers are normally self-pollinated. If an insect happens to move the pollen from a hot to sweet pepper, it will not affect the flavor or heat of this year’s harvest. If you save the seeds from a cross-pollinated pepper for next year’s garden there is no guarantee on the...
Michael Moore, the documentary film-maker is at it again. Viewers can count on him to create controversy. His films usually take aim at subjects that often involve a powerful player abusing a smaller player, such as “Where’s Roger”, a film about General Motors and its CEO. In that film the CEO appears to treat some employees of GM and the city of Flint, Michigan with heartless disdain. Or “Fahrenheit 9/11” which delves into the terrorist attack of 9/11. Or “Sicko” which purports to examine our heathcare system. Moore is the executive pro...

Pollinators are responsible for about 75% of the food we eat. The European honeybee is the most well known but our native bees are also critically important. We can help our native bees and gardens by reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides and providing shelter as well as food and water. About 70% of our native bees are ground nesting. Reduce the risk of conflicts with ground nesting bees. Create an inviting habitat away from prime gardening areas. Leave warm south facing spaces open for bees to establish their in-ground nests. Wood and...
I count on my slow cooker to do the honors when I have a house full of summer guests. Teenagers especially love DIY nachos.

No fruit on your tomato plants is likely due to the weather. Tomatoes thrive in warm, sunny conditions, but temperature extremes can prevent otherwise healthy plants from setting fruit. When daytime temperatures rise above 90 degrees and night temperatures remain above 70 degrees, blossom drop, and poor fruit development can occur. Combine this with low humidity and the pollen is not viable. In hot and humid conditions, the pollen is too sticky and doesn’t move from the male to the female part of the flower. Without pollination the flowers w...

There must not be any situation or set of circumstances for which Shakespeare failed to compose something perfectly appropriate, but who would have guessed he anticipated Bascom or Bascomb, Montana, when he put these immortal words into Hamlet's mouth? In our eighteen years near Roundup we had never heard of the place, so when Publisher Ponte suggested it as a subject for an essay and pictorial attention, we commenced looking around and found both spellings. The more we looked, however, the...

By Jon Axline, MDT Historian; Reprinted with MDT Permission Montana is the Last Best Place, and it’s also a place of lasts and one-of-a-kinds. For bridges this seems particualarly true. The Dearborn River High Bridge is the only on of its kind remaining in the United States. The Pugsley Bridge, the subject of a future Newsline article, is the only cable stay bridge of that design in Montana, and quite possibly the world. Wooden truss bridges were once a common sight in Montana. But now, perhaps only one remains - the Brockway Ford Bridge in M...

At what seems a long, long time ago, we began this series with some backward glances at ranches, homesteads, and ruins in this vicinity. Subsequently, we rambled all over the State and broadened the topics, but now it's time to conclude, and we thought we'd do it in our own, extended neighborhood, just as we started. Naturally, we're still backward. First of all, to get the piece rolling, here's another quiz question; What did Richard Trevithick do? That's right! He invented the steam...
Keep your garden looking its best and reduce your workload by enlisting practices that provide multiple benefits. Your garden will flourish and you’ll have more time to enjoy its beauty. Put your yard waste to work in your garden. You’ll save time hauling plant debris to the recycling center and money spent buying bagged material. Use shredded leaves, evergreen needles, herbicide-free grass clippings or other pest- and weed-free organic material as mulch. Spread a one to two-inch layer of these materials over the soil around annual and per...
The 2020 Musselshell-Golden Valley 4-H & Youth Fair is planned for July 19th-25th at the fairgrounds in Roundup. As most can imagine, the Fair will not be the same this year as in the past.

It will be important for spectators to understand that we do need to observe guidelines set forth by the CDC. There will be sanitation stations in each barn and signs to guide the public through exhibits at the fairgrounds. Bleachers will be marked with blue tape...
