The Magic Garden:How Does It Really Happen?... page 5

By Linda YatesIs there such a thing called Magic? We gardeners know that we arefacilitators in the supernatural power over natural forces. We can dig theholes, amend the soil, and care for the plants with water and nutrition.We can plant the seeds, bury the bulbs and conjure up arrangementsas we wish. But when all is said and done, how does it really happen?How does that lily bulb have all of that detail and colour and heightand aroma in its hard little head? I say it’s MAGIC! Do you believe inmagic? How could you not?

Americans tend to rush about; jetting off to vacation here, cruising

there or driving hundreds of milesto some destination we know littleabout. But, for all our far-flungvacation travelers we sometimesforget about the treasures in our ownbackyard.

The ”staycation” is becoming anew trend in summertime activitiesaccording to Randy Brown of theChautauqua County Fair. With astaycation you can “…stay at homeand still vacation by attending amajor event right in your homecommunity…so you’re not driving along distance” says Randy.

A perfect choice for a staycationis the Chautauqua County Fair. Thiscelebration of rural high culturehas been captivating western New

Yorkers for 128 years, and thisyear it is being held from July 27to August 2 at the ChautauquaFairgrounds in Dunkirk. Randy tells

me, “County Fairs are designedto provide agricultural awarenessand education to the generalpublic.” Like most county fairs, theChautauqua County Fair harbors avery eclectic blend of exhibits andentertainments. Where else can youfind Demolition Derbies mixed withhandmade quilts, exhibition qualityturnips and Elvis impersonators?

The fair provides an opportunityfor families in the county involvedin agriculture to demonstrate theirskills in raising cattle, sheep, hogs,goats, poultry, as well as the cropswe find on our own dinner tables.There will be over a thousand animal

A race that began five years agoas a small charity event has sincegrown to be a United States CyclingFederation (USCF) sanctioned race.

The Tour de Bemus, July 25 and26, includes a road race and a moreleisurely cycling tour, while raisingmoney for a local charity.

“It’s a neat local story,” said BobDahl, a member of the Hollyloft

Cycling team. “Basically, a coupleof guys got a race going [and] nowit’s a USCF certified race.”

The race which is organized andrun by the Hollyloft Bike Shopand cycling team, was first known

as Tour de Tom’s after the originalsponsor, Tom’s Tavern. As the racegrew, the name was changed to Tourde Bemus.

This time of year, it’sdif ficult to look out over theshores of Chautauqua Lakeand not wish to be “out there.”The water beckons you, andthe scenery is simply second-to-none. Could you think of a more relaxing way to whileaway the daytime hours, orwatch an incredible sunset?

So what if the lawn gets a littlelonger, or the dishes sit in thesink for a few more hours –this is summer in ChautauquaCounty and you’ve got totake advantage of her naturalresources while you can, right?

Fortunately, Boz and I havea boat and some of our bestsummer buddies are boaters,as well. When the “flotilla”gets together for a day on thewater, it’s always a memorableexperience that sometimesextends into the wee hours.That’s the way it is withboaters – eat, drink and makemerry.

But buying a vessel can be a

real mixed bag – many are too

darn expensive to maintain,dock and fuel. What’s a personto do? I’m happy to reportthere are plenty of places inChautauqua to rent your ownwater transportation, and a rideon the Belle or the SummerWind is truly memorable. Stilltoo much? Then drag out theold air mattress and go for a

nice, long float! Just don’t fall

asleep – trust me on this one…You could wake up sunburnedand kind of lost. But that’sanother story…

So take advantage of allMother Nature has bestowedupon us, here in this mostbeautiful corner of NYS.Enjoy a tour on the water –you’ll be better for it! Until

next week… JZ-B

When All is Said and Done, How Does It Really Happen?

The Magic Garden

Linda Yates is a Garden Consultant and also offers GardenTours of her own on her fabulous Lake Chautauqua Property.

BY LINDA YATES

Is there such a thing called

Magic? We gardeners knowthat we are facilitators in thesupernatural power over naturalforces. We can dig the holes,amend the soil, and care for theplants with water and nutrition.

e can plant the seeds, bury

the bulbs and conjure uparrangements as we wish. Butwhen all is said and done, howdoes it really happen? Howdoes that lily bulb have all of that detail and color and heightand aroma in its hard little head?I say it’s MAGIC!

Do you believe in magic?How could you not? Perhapsthe most brilliant botanistscientist knows better theexplanation of creation. I’msettling for magic. Let’s giveit a French flair…”cacique!”…like “colour” or “plain air.” Itmakes it even more fun! Morefun than looking around today?Hard to believe. It’s July

already! We’ve had a strangespring and summer so far butyou cannot stop a train. It’scoming. And it’s happening onits own terms. Everything hasits own time and like past yearsit is always slightly differentand there will always besurprises. Like this year thereare not so many trumpet liliesas they were injured by the latefrosts. So the few that madeit we cherish even more. Andsome of our old friends werelost in the carnage and will besorely missed.

Spring was grand andoyous and fast. It came on

and bloomed without our

participation. The gardens donot stop blooming for rain.The beautiful tall spikes of Iris,Foxtail lilies and lupines werebent over by thundering rains.They had their days of sun butwere shortened in their duration.But the rains make for beautifulbold hostas, astilbes, Japaneseiris and water lilies. Thesaturation of June is lingeringwith a very cool July. We havea record cold temperature of 50degrees for today, but the sun

is as strong as any sunny daycould be. Cool nights and sunnydays are our claim to fame herein Chautauqua County. That’swhy our gardens are so lush andstately. Nature is good to usafter she is naughty. It makesfor good magic.

And there is magic in the

air today. It’s sunny, breezy,hot and cool at the same time;where else do you get that?Robins are chirping, frogs arecroaking, butterflies, bees anddragonflies are dancing. Thereare all kinds of magic in thegardens. Lots of unexpectedsurprises. We’ve had a littlelull between the grandeur of June and the beginning of July.The gardens seem to take a littlerest. So now we are seeing theflower guests slowly returninglike our fair weather friendswho only visit when it’s safearound here.

As I venture out into thisbotanical maze of fauna and

flowers, I see the stalwarts of this quieter color time. Thereare lavender, royal purple andwhite clematis. Daisies andAsiatic lilies are the leadersof July. They march withpurpose and dignity. Thecampanulas and troopers too;they are not shy and they comein abundance. They know weneed bouquets.

But only a seasoned gardenerknows we need to take actionon a quite garden landscape.

After all we are most likelylooking for blooms and colorand it is a special gardener whoappreciates only texture. Mostvisitors don’t pay attention tothe ten foot lilies until theybloom in late July and earlyAugust. I find myself tryingto make people notice the

plants above eye level. Likethe tall delicate thalictrumsand elegant veronicastrums.Even in blooms they seem togo unnoticed. But I see themand enjoy them and stand backin awe. Its great magic I say.How did they get that way? DidI do that with God’s help or visaversa?

Soon we’ll have the bigsummer show when the gardensare fully loaded to the brim withall colors and textures and thebrilliance of nature. Till thenwe enjoy giant Cerulean bluedelphiniums, red Asiatic andturk cap lilies, pink penstemons,lupines, yarrows, monk’s hood,

fillipendula and the first of thehemerocalis (day lilies).Next week will be a riot of color. Just a magical sight tobehold! So until then we’llhold our breath in anticipationand relish the climb to themagical mystery tour.

“The idea came together in aperiod as little as 12 days andwe were able to donate $2,500to the Red Cross,” said KrisMeekins, an organizer of theevent. All of the organizersare volunteers and the costof running the race is low.Since it’s inception in 2005,the event has brought in over$5,000 to donate to variouscharities, including the Red

Cross and area residents.Although in the past the grouphasn’t announced where themoney raised will be donatedto until after the race, bothDahl and Meekins confirmedthat this year’s recipient willbe the St. Susan Center.

“This year, St. Susan’s madean appeal to the community forsupport…They’ve agreed toprovide volunteers to support

the race and tour,” Meekinssaid. It’s through the work of volunteers and sponsors thatthey have been able to run therace each year. Some of thesponsors are the same onesfrom when the race began asTour de Toms.

“The road race will take placeon July 25 and offers a numberof different distances rangingfrom ten to fifty miles”, saidMeekins. The upper lakecycling tour on July 26 is aself-paced ride through thecountryside. The participantsare given a map of the twenty-

two mile route marked withlocal businesses and points of interest. Since the tour beginswith a ferry boat ride and alsoincludes lunch in MayvillePark, non-cyclists can also beinvolved in the event.

“We’re not interested onlyin racers, we want to givenon-racers an alternativeway in which they too canparticipate,” Meekins said.

Since the race began in 2005,Meekins said the goal hasbeen a charity event thatincorporates entertainment forboth the racers and non-racers.

“We’ve always felt that wehave an advantage over manyregional races because we’rein one of the most beautifulvacation land areas…we’dlike to develop a ridershipthat looks forward to comingfrom locations away from ourarea,” Meekins said. The Tourde Bemus is the only USCFsanctioned cycle race in south-west New York.

Last year, the race drewaround 100 participants, Dahlsaid, and they are hoping foreven more this year. Pre-registration isn’t required, butMeekins said he has alreadyreceived registrations fromcyclists in the Amherst andBuffalo regions.

some bratwurst, and some of their fabulous hot dogs, andwe’re going to grill those off.”There also will be a Chineseauction with various prizesincluding tickets to a TobyKeith concert.

Tickets are $20 pre event and$25 at the door and include theSean Patrick McGraw concert,though it is open only to those21 years and older. Tickets

are available at Wegmans, theItalian Fisherman, See Zurhhouse and the JamestownSavings Bank Ice Arena. Danwants to remind everyone thatalthough there is a cost for theBrewfest, the proceeds go toenable the Bemus Bay Pops tocontinue with a summer full of free concerts at Bemus Bay.

We all know that the currenteconomy is affecting allaspects of our life, and noexception is the Bemus BayPops. Due to its budget crisis,New York State has madelarge cutbacks in grants tonon-profit organizations, andaccording to Dan, “We lost

a significant amount of ourfunding this year. And it’smaking it dif ficult for us tocontinue on (with the Popsconcerts) for free.” But, in an

effort to make the best of a badsituation several businesseshave aligned to create afundraiser for the Pops that

promises to be one of the greatevents of the summer.
