Little Green Tennis Balls

I was curious about these little round zucchinis when I saw the seed packs. Then I heard about how wonderful they are slow roasted. First step is to cut off the lids and scoop out the seeds. (In this economy you bet I am saving seeds), rub down with olive oil and stuff with..............you choose.

I could easily see them stuffed with marinara and pepperoni sprinkled with fresh Parmesan.

Or how about mozzarella, sage and basil with fresh ground pepper.

Oh what the heck cheddar cheese and beer soup with hot sausage....live large.

Home Hydroponics July 15th Adams Poughkeepsie

Welcome Summer::::

Well I found something to do when I am working Wednesday night and the garden season slows down: Teach some classes.

Wednesday July 15th at 6PM I will be lecturing on hydroponics basics. This seminar will cover how to make home made systems, lighting nutrients, growing media etc. This is not an in depth study of specifc crops but an introduction for all those people who thought hydroponic gardeners were only growing illegal stuff!
