Cohocton River Rock Micro Farm Award Winning?

Aug 22, 2011

 

We stopped by the Steuben County Fair this week to see how the entries fared. The bad news first, the vegetables did not win any awards.  I was really impressed by the quality of the produce submitted.

The jam and bread entries fared much better.  I was surprised by the second place ribbon the bread won.  I anticipated the baked good competition to be very strong, and it was.  There were few breads and more cookies so I think being in the bread category was beneficial.

County Fairs are such a wholesome tradition ... Again - I really like your gardening & growing category of micro farm!

Just received my copy of What’s Wrong With My Vegetable Garden? It's very informative. I would recommend it, too, especially for a beginning gardener. It is definitely a "go to" book for common problems.

Any suggestions as to how to organically deter grubs and caterpillars from the tomato plants? It is frustrating when these crawlers bore into the green tomatoes and any advice would be appreciated.
