CLUBS HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL More cole crop pointers Last week’s article featured some of the basics of the many kinds of vegetables in the cabbage family, better known as cole crops. These included cabbage, kale, collards, cauli flower, broccoli, and brussels sprouts. We discovered that, as a group, these crops tend to be high in vitamins and low in calories-a dieter’s dream. We also learned the impor tance of growing cabbages and related crops in nitro gen-rich soil from the very beginning as to encourage fast-growing, healthy crops. This week I would like to offer some additional cole crop pointers. Tim Lewis Garden Columnist While each cole crop has its own particular brand of problems, most pests and diseases are shared by the whole group. I suppose the most persistent problem you will encounter is the barrage of caterpillars known as cabbage loopers. These pesky invaders love to try to get a taste of the young, tender foliage well before you do. Luckily, there are some very effective measures that can eliminate the caterpillar problem. If you are so inclined, you can handpick them. Or, you can get the Trichogramma wasp to do the work for you. These wasps are parasites ■ Brad Austin Dunn, son of Jimmy and Kara Dunn of Warner Robins celebrates his first birthday today.

What tradition, originated back in 1929, is observed at half time between these two schools, and who got it started? History Quiz In 1901 and 1902, most American which lay their eggs on the caterpillar, and upon hatching, the wasp larvae kill the cater pillar by feeding on it until it dies. You can procure these wasps through mail order gardening magazines. Perhaps the surest way to control the cab bage looper is by a preparation made from the naturally occurring bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, also known as BT. Sprayed on the foliage and ingested by the caterpillars, it turns them into mushy dark brown blobs in a matter of days. BT is sold under several names, including Biotrol, Dipel, and Thuricide. Carbaryl (Sevin) is also effective against cab bage loopers and other worms. Another problem of cole crops is clubroot. This is a fungal disease that attacks roots of all cole crops, rendering them unable to take up water and nutrients. It deforms the roots so that they appear enlarged and club-shaped. The best controls are to keep the pH of your soil above 6.5 and to refrain from planting any cole crops in the affected area for at least two years. Still another cole crop basic involves trans planting the young plants. When it comes time to transplant the seedlings don’t be alarmed if their long, thin taproots are slightly damaged. While most tap-rooted plants are set back considerably if the root is injured during trans planting, this is not true of cole crops because See LEWIS, page zC Things that get stuck Have you ever gotten Super Glue stuck in your mouth?

Last week’s answers Different painters Many people assume these two were by the same painter, but, as Jim Worrall points out, “Pinkie was painted by Thomas Lawrence sometime around 1794, and .The Blue Boy was painted by Thomas Gainsborough around 1770.” Also getting it right were Jaloo Zelonis, Mike Stanley, Nancy Braswell, Jim pet owners. We’ve had lots of things to get stuck at our house, though. For instance, mini marshmal lows get stuck in little boys’ ears when they poke them in there. Since the body temper ature of humans is 98.6, the marshmallows begin to melt rather quickly and ooze down into the ear canal. Let me tell you, those little suckers are hard to dig out. Something else that also gets stuck is Duplo Blocks. They get stuck when flushed down the toilet. You can’t see them, but you know they’re down there because nothing else can go down, and let me tell you, that sure makes a mess. The toilet has to be removed from the floor in order to get the blocks out. My husband knows. He’s now an expert at Duplo Block -toilet removal.
