Welcome to our annual luncheon at the beautiful Otesaga. Sample the delicious buffet of entrees and desserts. Enjoy the company of friends and fellow gardeners around your table.

Thank you Mary Leonard, our presenter, from Carefree Gardens. The large variety of plants and flowers on display will surely get us in the mood for summertime gardening. We are always delighted by her presentation.

Today we will have the installation of the OFGC officers for

the 2019-2020 year. The officers volunteer many hours of time to keep the club active. We owe them our gratitude for a job well done. Thank you, Fran Bliven, for assisting with the installation ceremony.

KILL WEEDS WITHOUT POISON

Weeds in sidewalk and driveway cracks are always a nuisance. Here are some tips to get rid of those pesky weeds without using poisons:

1. Sprinkle handfuls of baking soda onto concrete and sweep it into the cracks. Dandelions and their friends don’t like this.

2. You can use a little undiluted bleach over weeds in the crevices of your walkways. After a couple of days go back and pull out the weeds. The bleach will keep them from coming back. Be careful not to get the bleach on your grass or plantings.

3. Heat up boiling water and pour directly onto stubborn weeds. This helps too.

4. Make a solution of one cup salt in two cups water and boil. Pour directly onto weeds to kill them. You can also pour salt directly onto the weeds and sprinkle with water or wait for rain.

5. For dandelions sprouting up in the cracks of your driveway or along the fringes of your patio, spray them with full-strength white or apple cider vinegar. Early in the season give each weed a single spritz of vinegar in its midsection or in the middle of the plant before the plant goes to seed. Aim another shot near the stem so the vinegar can soak down into the roots. If it rains the next day, you’ll need to spray the weeds again.

6. When you have prickly weeds like bull and Russian thistle ruining your yard, just spray some WD40 on them and they’ll wither and die.

Hope these tips help.

Linda Kulp, Horticulture Chair

 

 

 


 

 

 

About Us

Experienced and Creative Gardening Support

The Oneonta Garden Club was created in 1933 and five years later in 1938 joined the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State to become the Oneonta federated Garden Club.  Our club boasts a membership of 75 - 100 members and provides members opportunities to participate in meetings, luncheons, workshops, projects, flower shows and other related activities.  The OFGC contributes to a scholarship fund for local students, special programs such as the "water project for the Sudan", and takes pride in keeping the local Main Street beautiful by planting flowers each spring as well as maintaining several small public gardens within the City.
