We gave these new flyers out at the Farmer's Market yesterday between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. A lot of people stopped to talk with us and inquire about the odd-looking Jerusalem Artichokes we had on display, and gave away free. Thanks to gardener Reed for donating the artichokes. They taste like water chestnuts or a mild jicama root when eaten raw. They also may be roasted or planted. A man from Main stopped by and commented that this type of artichoke is considered an obnoxious weed in his part of the country. I said that we're grateful for anything that can grow in our part of the country!
Linda, Camille, Kelly, Hali, and others assisted at the booth. |
Ahwatukee Community Garden BeautyI started coming to the Sunday gardening group in the fall of 2013. I've learned a lot and have forged new friendships with other earth lovers. Master Gardeners Linda and Bob have so much knowledge they freely give the rest of us! Bill and I became Master Gardeners as well in 2014 ~ Kelly Athena Archives
