By OSU Master Gardeners
Tina Burnside & lulilh MSean
A wonderful group of Warm
Springs residents enjoyed the re
cent First Day of Summer Cel
ebration at the OSU Extension
Services building.
During this kitkoff event of
the Plant Clinic summer series,
participants enjoyed two differ
ent homemade salsas along with
chips during the garden and
plant discussion topics.
The winners of the plant
prizes awarded in the drawing
were Martha Winishut, who re
ceived an Anaheim chili pepper
plant; Juanita Pacheco, receiv
ing a Cherokee purple tomato
seeds packet; Myra Johnson,
wildflower seeds packet; and
Sherri Miller, Oregon spring
tomato plant.
The plants and containers
were generously donated by
Desert Valley Garden Center,
Hugh Vibbert, located at 365
N.E. Meadowlark Lane in Ma
dras. Everyone who attended
the celebration was entered in
the drawing.
Tina Burnside, OSU Master
Gardener, discussed simple
steps to success using raised bed
garden techniques.
The advantages include cre
ating richer soil than our typical
native Central Oregon soil, as
well as water-effective and
weed-efficient areas for veggies
and flowers. A volunteer from
the audience, Danica Greene,
demonstrated the proper plant
ing technique to transplant an

4-inch pot to a one-gallon con
tainer, with input from the Mas
ter Gardeners.
Fara Currim, OSU Extension
Agriculture Agent, gave an ex
cellent noxious weeds presenta
tion that included samples of the
weeds. Although these weeds
may look like pretty flowers, they
can be harmful. To rid your
yard of them, we recommend
hand-pulling the plant, including
the root, and disposing of it in
the garbage.
Handouts at the clinic in
cluded a fresh salsa recipe, a
publication on raised bed gar
dening, and recent issues of gar
dening magazines contributed by
a popular Bend landscape de
signer Chris Hart-Henderson.

Edith McBean, OSU Master
Gardener, assisted in answering
a variety of questions from the
audience, such as how to best
fertilize plants. She was also the
photographer.
Many attendees shared great
success stories when asked the
question: "What's currently
growing in your yard or garden?"
Wendell Jim brought beauti
ful samples of the healthy mint,
sage and honeysuckle plants
flourishing in his garden, and
offered them as transplants.
Thanks to all the attendees,
participants and OSU Extension
Service personnel who contrib
uted their efforts to a success
ful event. Make a note in your
calendar to attend the July plant
clinic on Monday, July 26, from
12-1 at the OSU Extension Ser
vice office. Several topics will
be discussed, including container
gardening and fire resistant
plants. We'll also enjoy snacks
made from fresh summer fruits.

Tips on container gardening
By OSU Master Gardners
Edith McBean & Tina Burnside
Container gardening helps
new gardeners get started and
old gardeners to create. You
don't need to be a full time gar
dener to reap the benefits. Con
tainers are one of the great ways
to have beautiful flowers, tasty
herbs, and a spectacular splash
of color. You don't need to be
an expert to get great results tak
ing a minimum amount of time
and effort. And it will instantly
jazz up your deck, patio or liven
up a window-sill. If you have a
houseplant, or a pot of gerani
ums, you are already a container
gardener.
One of the challenges of con-
Example of a hanging
container plant.
tainer gardening is finding the
right pot. You can buy many
different types of containers,
but you can also be as imagina
tive as you like. You first may
BPA: need for
better consultation
want to think of where you
would like to display your plants.
An old shoe for instance might
look great on the back step. A
large decorated pot may be
handsome for greeting you at
your front door. The tried and
true wooden barrel, set in a
sunny location, may be just per
fect for your herbs and toma
toes. If you prefer viewing your
floral display from inside and
out, a hanging basket in front
of the window may just meet
those needs. The range of pos
sibilities with container garden
ing is amazing and will add to
even the grandest of gardens.
Basically to get started you
need a few plants, a clean con
tainer and great soil. Weight of
the soil and water maybe an is
sue. If your container is deep
you might just be wasting good
potting soil.

Irrigation districts, for in
stance, can be difficult to get on
board when it comes to fisher
ies mitigation projects, because
there may be an initial lack of
trust, said Brunoe.
If the tribes approach the
irrigation districts with a pro
posal, and then fail to follow
through, "It is hard to get back
the level of trust," he said.
In response BPA representa
tive Bill Maslen said, "The last
thing we want is for you to lose
trust from the local communi
ties. We're here today to hear
your concerns."
Maslen said the BPA budget
is based on power sales, not on
federal tax money. During bad
years in the power market, "our
cash resources approach zero."
The BPA has to justify
money going out for projects
such as fisheries restoration.
This is why BPA makes the de
tailed budget requests regarding
the restoration plans.
Terry Luther said he can see
the BPA receiving the hydro
project mitigation credits, but at
the same time not funding nec
essary restoration work in the
future.
Harold Blackwolf Sr., chair
man of the tribes' off-reservation
fish and wildlife commitee,
and Ron Suppah, Council chair
man, also commented that the
BPA needs to better understand
what it means to "consult with
the tribes."
They said that for a BPA
staff person to talk with a tribal
staff person about an issue does
not constitute consultation with
the tribes. The Tribal Council
and the committees are the bod
ies that are to be consulted with.

tnall Hands to Hold Love ... Not fire
Fact: Children from age two to seventeen start fires
that endanger lives, cause injuries, death and burn
millions of dollars in property.
Fact: Children under the age of three cause a
majority of these fires and lose their lives in the
process.
This does not have to happen. Parents need to teach
their children about the dangers of fire and create a
fire-safe home.
