Plain City flag mural redone and rededicated
Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Shortly after the terrorist attacks on the United States on Sept.
11, 2001, Urania Lodge 311, Plain City’s chapter of the Free and
Accepted Masons, commissioned the painting of a large American
flag on the side of their building in the center of town.
“It was painted in a show of freedom, unity and strength within
the Plain City community,” said Rich Myers, who serves as the
lodge’s worshipful master.
Over the course of the last 19 years, the mural, located at 102 E.
Main St. and highly visible to traffic and pedestrians passing
through town, became weathered and worn. Lodge members talked
about revitalizing or replacing it. After nearly two years of discussion,
they decided to pursue the project.
“This year just felt like it would be the appropriate time to do it
with everything that’s going on in the world,” Myers said.
Lodge members turned to the public to decide whether to stick
with the original design or go with something new.
“The feedback in the community was strongly that they really
enjoyed the original,” Myers said, “and as much as it is going on our
building, it’s for the community as a whole.”
The lodge solicited quotes and ultimately went with UC Signs,

“They really did a fantastic job of prioritizing the project so that
we could rededicate the mural on Sept. 11,” Myers said.

Senior Center won’t reopen Sept. 21 as planned
Despite delay, some services continue
and new services are being added
Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
After being closed to the public for six months, the
Madison County Senior Citizens Center was prepared
to reopen this week, however questions about testing
at the time of the announcement.
On Sept. 11, during a webinar hosted by the Ohio Department
on Aging, Bradley and other senior center
leaders from around the state learned they must test
every employee and volunteer every other week.
“They told us we were going to get help with testing
and testing kits, but they didn’t say who was going to
be paying for it,” Bradley said.

which physical distancing is easily achievable. The center
was prepared to reopen its cafe for seated dining

facility also planned to reopen its adult day care program.

Beware phone and mail scams
Andrew Garrett
Staff Writer
Mount Sterling officials are telling residents
to be vigilant about scams occurring
around the village.
On Sept. 14, village council members discussed
phone and mail scams, making special
mention of a piece of mail that appeared
to be associated with law enforcement and
the State of Ohio.
Courtney Bricker, village fiscal officer,
said she spoke with a resident who received
a letter asking for donations to the “Mount
Sterling, Ohio-area drive for America’s police
and sheriff’s emergency equipment storage.”
“It looks kind of like a formal letter with
a signature on the back and Ohio Gov.
DeWine backing it, as well,” Bricker said,
who referred the letter to Madison County
Sheriff John Swaney. “He said ‘no’ they do
not receive funds for this type of equipment.”
The letter asks for donations to the
United States Deputy Sheriff’s Association
for use in response to protests and protection
needs for law enforcement officers.
“I just want to make sure the public is
aware of this, that this is not legit. So,
please do not send them any money when
you get this type of letter,” Bricker said.
Council member David Timmons reported
a phone scam from what he said is
an illegitimate outfit purporting to benefit
disabled veterans.
“The Disabled Veterans do not send you
letters. They do not do this-and-that asking
for money,” Timmons said. “Do not listen to them.”
There are legitimate local chapters of disabled veterans that organize
under the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) name. Timmons
said this is not the same group.
Council members also discussed two recent crimes that happened
in the village, one involving the theft of two vehicles over
Labor Day weekend on Wingate Place. Madison County Sheriff’s
Deputy Jack Dill said the two vehicles were later found in Columbus.
“The individuals involved, I know two of them are from the eastside
of Columbus,” Dill said.
Both vehicles were seen on East Livingston Avenue and one was
recovered from two suspects who were planning to use the car in a
robbery.
“I haven’t heard if the other one’s been recovered yet,” Dill said.
Council member Becky Martin asked Dill about an incident of
public indecency involving a Mount Sterling resident and children
on Sept. 11. Dill said he was out of town during the incident but the
Sheriff’s Office is aware of the facts of the case.
In other meeting action, council:
• passed an ordinance in emergency that would update the village’s
fee schedule for building. The schedule has not been updated
in 15 years.
• passed an ordinance regarding accessory structures in the village.
• passed an ordinance accepting the local government support
fund.
SENIORS
Continued from page 1
to opening the center, a hub of activity for seniors around the
county. She said she worries about the impact of isolation on the
county’s older population.
“I’m really concerned for the seniors in our community. To put
things on pause again is frustrating,” she said.
While the reopening is in limbo, the center is still finding ways
to serve seniors.
“We never shut down our transportation services,” Bradley said.
Even after state orders closed the center’s doors on March 23,
the center has continued to provide area seniors with transportation
to medical appointments, grocery stores, banks, and, when they reopened,
hair salons.
The cafe switched from sit-down dining to drive-up lunches,
available for pickup outside the center between 11:30 a.m. and 1
p.m. Monday through Thursday. The cost is $5. Orders can be
placed by calling the center by 9:30 a.m. the day of pickup. Anyone,
regardless of age, is welcome.
Soon, the center will offer those meals at no charge, as well as
make free deliveries to those who cannot make it to the center for
pickup. The center received $20,000 in CARES (Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security Act) funds to use for its cafe operations.
Starting Oct. 1, Madison County residents who are 60 or older
can sign up to receive the meals for free. There is no income requirement.
The program is scheduled to start on Oct. 12. Pickup meals
will be available the same days and times as they are now. Meal
delivery will be available once a week and to all parts of the county.
Those who don’t sign up can still pick up meals at the center for $5
or a donation.
The center also received $10,000 in CARES money to use to help
area seniors with housing emergencies, such as payment of utility
bills, rent or mortgage. Participants must provide paperwork showing
notice of pending utility disconnection or eviction. The center
will put a cap on each payment assistance in order to help as many
people as possible with the limited funds.
“Even though we’ve been shut down, we want people to know we
are still answering their calls. We’re still looking for ways to help,”
Bradley said.
The Madison County Senior Citizens Center is located at 280 W.
High St. in London. For more information, call (740) 852-3001 or

Alder sets dates for return to fully in-person classes
Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Jonathan Alder Local Schools students
could be returning to fully in-person instruction
within the next few weeks.
The district started the school year with
a hybrid model, with students receiving inperson
instruction two days a week and remote
instruction three days a week. Half the
student population is in the classroom on
Mondays and Tuesdays; the other half is in
the classroom on Thursdays and Fridays.
At the Sept. 14 school board meeting, Superintendent
Gary Chapman announced
that conditions and statistics three weeks
into the school year are such that the district
might be able to return students to the
classroom full-time.
A key factor is student enrollment, Chapman
said. The district also is taking into account
Ohio’s alert level for COVID-19,
current Madison County Public Health
guidelines, and local considerations, such as
staff attendance and reported cases of
COVID-19 in the schools. According to the
district’s COVID-19 reporting dashboard,
accessible through the district’s website,
www.alder.k12.oh.us, the district has had
one person test positive for the virus as of
Sept. 16.
Enrollment numbers are showing that
most of the district’s buildings could provide
the physical distancing
necessary to accommodate
fully in-person instruction.
Because 163 students have
opted to learn remotely
through the Jonathan
Alder Digital Academy and
161 children are being
homeschooled, in-person
enrollment numbers are
down, Chapman said.
The tentative dates for
returning to fully in-person instruction are
as follows:
• Sept. 28 for Monroe and Plain City elementaries—Enrollment
numbers are down
at both buildings, Chapman said, adding
that the district might need to install physical
barriers in some areas of the buildings
as part of COVID-19 safety precautions.
• Oct. 12 for Jonathan Alder High
School—The high school building has larger
classrooms, hallways and auditeria space,
making physical distancing more easily
achieved than at some of the other buildings,
Chapman said.
• Oct. 23 for Canaan Middle School and
Jonathan Alder Junior High—A return to
fully in-person instruction at these schools
is more tentative than at the other buildings,
Chapman said, noting that enrollment
at these buildings has not dropped like it
has at the district’s other three buildings.
“We’re not quite there yet as far as being
willing to bring (students) back based upon
larger class sizes, small classrooms in those
two buildings, and smaller large spaces,” he
said.
Chapman emphasized that all plans and
dates are subject to change.
“Our community, our students and our
staff have done an outstanding job of adhering
to social distancing, to the face masks,
to all the health and safety protocols that
have been put in place. And that has made
a huge difference in us being to where we
are now,” Chapman said. “We cannot let up.
Just because things appear to be going well
right now, that is not a reason to let our
guard down.”
Digital Academy
Several parents who chose to enroll their
students in the Jonathan Alder Digital
Academy (JADA), rather than in the hybrid
model, have expressed dissatisfaction. Many
say the platform is difficult to navigate, not
only for students but also for the parents
who are helping them. Many say the content
is over complicated, citing a 26-page art lesson
as an example. They want more live
Zoom sessions and recorded videos from
Jonathan Alder teachers to help keep their
children more engaged. They also want
schedules that clearly state what coursework
is due on what days.
“This is nothing like we expected,” wrote
Katie Beasley, a parent of a Jonathan Alder
student enrolled in JADA, in an email to the
school board. “I’m trying to go through and
simplify things for my child so we can give
this a full try but it is not going well. There
are so many things due
each day that it is hard for
my child to keep up. I believe
that every parent
would find it helpful to
have lessons Zoomed or on
video.”
Dr. Misty Swanger, assistant
superintendent,
said the district has been
listening to parent feedback
and working to make
adjustments and improvements. Teachers
are actively working to hold more live Zoom
sessions and post video links. They also are
providing students with simplified due-date
schedules.
For students in kindergarten through
fifth grade, the district is providing workbooks
and lesson kits to balance out screen
time. For students in grades 5-8, teachers
are holding more live-by-Zoom lessons and
small group meetings.
“I will tell you that online school is not
easy,” Swanger said, referring to the transition
for students, parents, and teachers.
“We would always rather have our students
in front of our teachers.”
But because JADA is a good option for
some students and their families for a variety
of reasons, teachers are doing what they
can to make the online schooling work. Administrators
and JADA teachers met on
Sept. 14 to talk about changes.
“Coming out of that meeting, our teachers
were saying, ‘If you tell us what you
need, we’ll make it work for you,’” Swanger
said.
Food Service
Mark Fenik, director of facilities, reported
that the federal government is extending
its summer food program. Starting
Sept. 21, every student who is attending
school in person will have access to free
breakfast and free lunch. The breakfasts
will be basic, Fenik said—a muffin and juice,
for example—and likely will be bagged for
easy pick-up in the morning. The lunches
will be the usual school lunches.
The program will run through Dec. 31 or
until federal funds run out, Fenik said.
“We have heard rumors they will extend
this through the entire school year,” he
added.
Next board meeting
The school board’s next regular meeting is
scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Oct. 12 at the high
school. The board and administrators will be
discussing when, where, and how future
board meetings will take place and if and how
they will reopen the meetings to the public.

‘Broken Hearts Gallery’ offers warmth, humor
The opening act of “The Broken Hearts Gallery” unspools as if it
were a setup for a horror film: After a night of heavy drinking that
culminates in a public embarrassment, an emotional young woman
steps into an idling vehicle she believes to be her ordered ride.
Rather than listen to the male driver as he repeatedly tells her she
entered the wrong car, she tells him to shut up, launches into her
sob story and demands to be taken home so she can be comforted
by her supportive roommates. As he takes her to her destination,
allegedly, she receives a text from the actual driver of the actual
car she was supposed to claim. Realizing her error, she looks at the
wrong driver as he glances into the rearview mirror, they make eye
contact, and she gives a small scream.
“The Broken Hearts Gallery,” however, is not a horror movie,
though it does point out quite capably the danger of the situation
through witty banter and barbed comments. Instead, this is a new
romantic comedy, and the interaction between the two strangers is
something they like to call a “meet cute” but with a more potentially
endangering edge.
The contrivance of its opening could put some off of this film but
that would be a mistake—not as big as getting into a cute stranger’s
car, but a mistake nonetheless. Despite its starting point, this film
is full of charm, humor and genuine warmth. It’s kind of the equivalent
of a comforting blanket that is frayed around the corners.
Geraldine Viswanathan, the scene stealer from “Blockers” (2018)
and “Miracle Workers” (2019), plays Lucy Gulliver, the emotional
young woman who gets into a stranger’s car. When her day started
off, she was employed as an assistant at an art gallery, dating a fabulous
and sophisticated older man named Max (Utkarsh Ambudkar)
and ready to impress the notable curator Eva Woolf
(Bernadette Peters) at an exhibit later that night. When it ends,

however, she is without a job,
without a boyfriend and driving
around New York City with a
mysterious stranger and a
growing headache to boot.
After wallowing in self-pity
for several weeks, she is encouraged by her roommates,
the lawyer Amanda (Molly Gordon) and the “stay at
home model” Nadine (Phillipa Soo), to move on with her
life, or at least get in the shower. They also tell her that
she needs to get rid of the trinkets she collected from
her relationship with Max, all potential triggers for her
despite them being odd things like ties and keys. (Her
collections are a plot thread throughout the film).
While doing so, or at least trying to, she runs into
Max and his new flame and is saved from another embarrassing
scene by Nick (Dacre Montgomery), the
handsome stranger who safely got her home. Feeling
some sort of connection to this man, Lucy follows him
to an abandoned hotel (she is sometimes full of bad
ideas) that he is struggling to rehab and falls in love.
Not with him, of course, or at least not so soon, but with
the potential of the hotel. She is struck by an idea and
runs it by him: allow her space to run an exhibit for
purged relationship items, or a broken hearts gallery,
and she will help him raise enough funds to finish his
money pit of a project.
Desperate for any spark to breathe new life into his
dream hotel, he relents and the two form a partnership
which slowly becomes a friendship. And because this is

a romantic comedy, you know
what follows after but with
some twists along the path toward
eternal happiness.
Teetering on the verge of
being too cutesy at times, what
balances this film is the performances
from all of the actors
but most notably the charming
Viswanathan and Montgomery.
They make a great pair and
have such revolving chemistry
that they really sell their characters’
transition from strangers to business partners to
friends to something more.
The one thing that will likely keep people away from
this film is that it is only being released in theaters at
this time. I’m not advocating that people rush out to see
this — it would be a great stay-at-home movie — but I feel
pretty confident that the theaters won’t be packed for
this film as it has barely received advertising. Still, it’s
up to you to decide your comfort level at the theaters,
but if you should ever stumble across this film in the future,
be sure to give it a chance. Its warmth and deft
humor could provide a bit of light if you ever need a nice
escape.

Celebrating the Constitution
On Sept. 17, members of the London
chapter of the National Society Daughters
of the American Revolution (DAR) met with
the Madison County commissioners and
London Mayor Patrick J. Closser for the
signing of Constitution Week proclamations.
On that day, communities across the
country rang bells at 4 p.m. in recognition
of Constitution Week, Sept. 17-23. Sharon
Dillion, Constitution Week chairman,
arranged for London First United Methodist
Church and St. Patrick Catholic Church to
ring bells.

Review goes online and free for the first time
Farm Science Review, normally held at
the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London,
will come to you on your laptop or
smartphone this year. For free, you can
watch livestreamed talks and recorded
videos featuring the latest farm equipment
and research to pique your curiosity.
From Sept. 22-24, people from across the
Midwest and the world can learn tips for increasing
farm profits and growing crops
from soybeans to hemp.
Virtual visitors can find out about the
show’s offerings by going to fsr.osu.edu and
clicking on an image of the show’s site. Within
that image, people can click on various icons
to find schedules for talks and demos they’re
most interested in, such as field demonstrations
or “Ask the Expert” talks.
Among the livestreamed talks will be
Ask the Expert presentations that feature
Instead of taking place at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, this year’s Farm
Science Review is taking place online. A host of free livestreamed talks and recorded
videos will be accessible at www. fsr.osu.edu.
the advice of staff from The Ohio State University
College of Food, Agricultural, and
Environmental Sciences (CFAES) on various
topics in agriculture. Viewers will enter
the talks through a Zoom meeting link and
be able to post their questions in chat boxes.
If you miss any, you can check back after
the talks to watch the recordings.
“It will be even easier this year to benefit
from the show’s valuable advice that can
help farmers improve their businesses,” said
Nick Zachrich, manager of Farm Science
Review, which is hosted by CFAES.
“Whether farm operators have questions
on finances, insurance protection, or which
new tool fits their needs, resources will be
available through Farm Science Review online.”
The virtual format is a first for the Review,
held annually for nearly 60 years.
Topics for talks at FSR this year include
the risks of transmitting COVID-19 to your
animals, the prospects of U.S. agricultural
exports abroad, increasing profits from
small grains by planting double crops, climate
trends, managing cash flow on the
farm, farm stress, and rental rates on agricultural
land.
Looking for a job in agriculture? For the
second time this year, FSR will include a career
fair. Before the Sept. 22 event, which
will be from 10 a.m. to noon, anyone can
view videos and other content from prospective
employers to know what those employers
are seeking and schedule live chats with
company representatives.
Presentations on raising backyard chickens,
starting a flock of sheep, and growing
blackberries and other specialty crops could
spark some inspiration.
Other major attractions at this year’s
show include online field demonstrations
that show how various types of farm equipment
boost the efficiency of fertilizing, harvesting
a field, or performing other tasks.
Viewers can catch a close-up view of the machinery,
which, on site, they’d normally
have to see from several yards away.
“With many events canceled and disruptions
across the industry because of the pandemic,
Farm Science Review aims to
provide as many solutions as possible,”
Zachrich said.
“A showcase of equipment, other products,
services and education will help address
limitations that have surfaced in
recent months.”
The annual talk given by agricultural
economists in CFAES will focus on supply
chains in food and agriculture. Many of
those supply chains were tested earlier this
year when the nation’s major meat processors
closed down temporarily because so
many of their employees had COVID-19.
Ty Higgins, director of media relations
for the Ohio Farm Bureau, will moderate
the talk, which will include Ben Brown, Ian
Sheldon and Zoë Plakias, all agricultural
economists with CFAES.

or offerings in this year’s show, visit
fsr.osu.edu.

What to know about
on-farm butchering
There’s growing interest in on-farm
butchering, say experts at The Ohio State
University College of Food, Agricultural,
and Environmental Sciences (CFAES), and
they’re offering guidance for doing it right.
As major meat processors have suffered
shutdowns and back-ups because of COVID-
19, and as small processors have been
swamped with business as an alternative
for slaughtering market-ready livestock,
more and more farmers have started to
think about simply doing it themselves.
But processing livestock safely, humanely,
and legally isn’t a simple thing at
all, said Lyda Garcia, assistant professor of
meat science in the CFAES Department of
Animal Sciences.
“I grew up in south Texas, where on-thefarm
animal processing was common,” said
Garcia, who is also a meat specialist with
Ohio State University Extension, CFAES’s
outreach arm. “But it’s a skill. Not just anybody
can do it or should do it.”
That’s why Garcia and Lynn Knipe, an
associate professor in CFAES’s departments
of Animal Sciences and Food Science and
Technology, will cover the subject during
this year’s virtual Farm Science Review.
Their session, “On-the-Farm Slaughter and
Processing,” is slated for Sept. 22, 11-11:30
a.m., at fsr.osu.edu.
Watching the talk is free, but signing up
in advance is required. Go to fsr.osu.edu.
For additional resources, Garcia and
Knipe, who also is an OSU Extension meat
specialist, have co-written two new fact
sheets, “What You Need to Know About Animal
Processing on the Farm in Ohio” and
“What You Need to Know About the Legal
Side of Home Processing.”
Knowledge
of food
safety is
paramount
for producers
who are
considering
doing their
own on-farm
butchering.
Two OSU
professors
will share information
during a
Sept. 22
Farm Science
Review
session.
The fact sheets cover subjects such as animal
health and welfare, food safety concerns
and best practices, and Ohio’s laws
and limits on on-farm butchering. One of
those laws is that unless the meat is inspected,
only you and your family can use
it–you can’t sell it.
“If you don’t understand food safety, if
you don’t understand the potential hazards
at stake, that can lead to more serious
repercussions than just not getting an animal
processed,” Garcia said.
“It scares me to no end to think about
what could happen, especially to the elderly
and our very young, who don’t have as
strong immune systems,” she said.
Possible hazards include pathogens such
as E. coli O157:H7, salmonella, and campylobacter,
which Garcia said can cause illness
and possibly even death.
“Carelessness is not an option when it
comes to food safety,” she said.
The fact sheets are free at go.osu.edu/onfarmeatprocessing
and go.osu.edu/legalhomeprocessing.
Further details, including
how to contact Garcia and Knipe (under the
“About Us” button), are available at
meatsci.osu.edu.
“I encourage people to take home processing
seriously–to think it through,” Garcia
said. “If it’s something you want to do,
then reach out to us. We can help guide you
best as possible.”
This year’s Farm Science Review is being
held 100 percent virtually, with sign-up and
all of the events being free of charge, because
of the coronavirus pandemic. In a normal
year, more than 100,000 people attend
the event in person.

Farm animals and COVID-19: Need to worry?
With the rapid spread of the new coronavirus
believed to have started in bats, some
people might be genuinely concerned about
their farm animals. Could the animals catch
COVID-19?
The answer is murky.
While there have been no reported cases
of pigs, horses, sheep, chickens or cows getting
COVID-19, their susceptibility to the
respiratory disease has yet to be studied.
And though some pig cells have been able
to get COVID-19 in lab studies, it does not
appear that pigs can catch or spread the
virus very easily, said Scott Kenney, an assistant
professor of veterinary preventive
medicine at The Ohio State University College
of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental
Sciences (CFAES).
“There are a lot of unknowns,” Kenney
said.
What is known is that ferrets, minks, domestic
cats and some dogs have become infected
with COVID-19. But neither pets nor
farm animals are thought to play significant
roles in transmitting COVID-19.
Kenney, whose research focuses on
viruses that spread from animals to people,
is pursuing grants with colleagues to study
whether various farm animals are susceptible
to COVID-19. He will address the risk of
animals catching or spreading COVID-19
during “Ask the Expert” presentations Sept.
22-24 at this year’s Farm Science Review,
an all-virtual show sponsored by CFAES.
Kenney’s talks will be from 11:40 a.m. to
noon on Sept. 22 and from 1:20 to 1:40 p.m.
on Sept. 23 and Sept. 24 at fsr.osu.edu.
For the first time in its nearly 60-year
history, FSR will be exclusively virtual with
livestreaming and prerecorded talks and
demonstrations about the latest in research
and farm technology. The show is free, but
“visitors” must register before they can access
all of the presentations.
The novel coronavirus that causes
COVID-19 is but one of many viruses in recent
years that started in animals then mutated
and adapted so that it could spread to
people. Viruses, in general, have been increasingly
shifting from animals to people,
particularly in the developing world, as people
cultivate more and more acres that were your virus. It only takes a couple of mutasider
that these animals could breathe in
once isolated forests and come into contact tions for these viruses to switch to another
with wildlife.
species,” Kenney said.
While people are currently far more As a farmer moves from one building to
likely to catch COVID-19 from other people–rather
than from their farm animals or using a hand sanitizer before leaving each
another on a farm, washing off boots and
pets–it’s still important for farm workers to building would help cut the risk of spreading
illnesses, Kenney said.
wear masks at work, Kenney said.
And if they are sick, farmers would do “More frequent washing means they are
best to avoid being around their animals less likely to carry germs from one pen to
and have someone else work with them instead,
if at all possible, he said.
To register or find out more about the of-

“Instead of thinking, ‘Oh, my animals ferings at this year’s Farm Science Review,

Backyard fruit production
That tomato plant you
had hopes for might have
lagged during the summer’s
rainless days. Or maybe it
had you filling bag after bag
to give to neighbors, and the
triumph inspired a new ambition:
I should add fruit to
my backyard.
Great idea if you have the
space. But there’s a lot to
consider before you fill a
patch in the yard and reap the fruits of your
labor. How sunny is your yard? Is it welldrained,
or does it stay wet all spring? Do
you want to spray pesticides? Do you have
time to take care of backyard fruit?
It helps to start small, said Gregory
Meyer, an educator with Ohio State University
Extension. Berries–strawberries, blueberries,
raspberries, or others–are a good
choice, particularly if you have limited
space, he said.
If apples are on your mind, then choose
dwarf trees that are easier to manage and
require a smaller area.
With apples and other tree fruits, it’s important
to find out if they need another variety
of apple or another fruit, so bees and
other pollinators can reach both, Meyer
said. That cross-pollination is necessary to
produce fruit.
“No one wants to fail at gardening, but a
lot of times we do,” he said. “Sometimes, the
reason we fail is we don’t take the time to
match our landscapes with the fruit we
plant. We just say, ‘I’m going to go buy an
apple tree or a pear or peach tree.’”
Meyer, who has taught classes on growing
backyard fruit for more than 20 years,
will share his expertise on the topic Sept. 22
at 11 a.m. during an online session called
“Overcoming the Challenges of Growing
Backyard Fruit in Ohio” during Farm Science
Review.
If you want to test your talent
for growing fruit in your
garden in the Midwest,
Meyer suggests the following:
• Small fruits, such as
berries, might be a better
choice for backyard fruit
than, say, apple, peach, or
pear trees because trees require
more space.
• If you have options for
what to plant, consider
planting later-harvesting varieties because
spring frosts in Ohio can kill off buds.
• If you want to avoid spraying pesticides
to fend off insects or disease, choose fruits
that have fewer disease and insect problems,
such as June-harvested strawberries
or blueberries, or native fruit trees such as
paw paws, mulberries or persimmons.
• Encourage bees, butterflies,and other
pollinators to visit your garden. Pollination
is important for any type of fruit production.
Planting perennials nearby, such as coneflowers
and butterfly bushes, will help bring
pollinators to the area.
• Match your fruit choice to your current
landscape, instead of trying to change your
landscape to match a fruit. One of the secrets
to being a good gardener is to put
plants where they want to be. For example,
blueberries need acidic soils to thrive, and
many garden soils aren’t acidic enough for
them to reach their full potential.
To access prerecorded and livestreamed
talks at Farm Science Review, sign up at
fsr.osu.edu. Meyer’s session is among the
Utzinger Gardens talks, which include a
daily Q&A from 1 to 2 p.m. with a different
lawn and garden expert. Choose from
among numerous sessions on gardening and
agriculture throughout the show, which will
be Sept. 22—24. After the show is over, all
recorded talks and other content can be accessed
