What time is it in your garden? Find out in April garden workshop

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, March 19, 2015

By Mark Badertscher

Have you ever wondered when plants will bloom or insects will show up in your garden?  The Hardin County Master Gardener Volunteers will be holding a garden workshop to help the public understand when things happen in the garden. 

“What Time is It – A Phenology Program” will be presented by Bill Jones, who is a Hancock County Master Gardener Volunteer.  Phenology is the science of timing of flowering plants and when diseases and insects affect them. 

Knowing when things are about to happen in the garden, will allow for the gardener to know what to look for, and how to best plan and manage issues before they affect the plants.

She foments fermentation, and she’s coming to Ada on Earth Day

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, March 18, 2015

By Amy Eddings

There are two meanings to the verb, to ferment, and Tara Whitsitt embodies them both. 

Not only is she an accomplished culinary artist who makes her own yogurt, kimchi, vinegar, and sourdough bread; she ferments — or stirs up — interest in these cultured foods through her project, Fermentation on Wheels.  She tours the country in an old 1986 International Harvester bus that she’s turned into a traveling kitchen and classroom.

Fermentation on Wheels rolls into my driveway in Ada, this Earth Day, Wednesday, April 22, for a potluck and culture swap.
