Summer Greens – Week of July 12th

Mouth watering basil

With all this basil, I am sure there is some fresh pesto around! North East Ohio boasts some of the most magnificent array of greens I have had the privilege to see from around the world. Summer is a glorious month of lush shades of green. If you are walking around your neighborhood or farm, driving to work, enjoying the beach – take a look around and count the number of greens you see. And we haven’t even started on the edible greens!

Join us, this WEDNESDAY (a switch from our usual) at 7pm with Ashtabula County Master Gardener – Linda Dole! Linda will be sharing insights into the mid-summer garden. A magical and productive place.

Instead of avocado I use zucchini – gives the creamy texture – and I usually have some on hand this time of year. Enjoy!
