Tasty Tomatoes and Good Advice



Downers Grove Organic Gardeners shared their best tomatoes, tastiest dishes and stories of the season at our Harvest Festival on Sept. 21. Sun Gold was voted the best-tasting tomato, with a Heirloom Yellow Brandywine coming in second.

Gina Pacheco discussed food dehydrating and proved that dried fruit and veggies make an awesome snack. We voted on the biggest and ugliest veggies and the best wildlife and plant photos.

Here is a link to the Mar-Duke Farms article the Mary Anne Badke mentioned.

And here is a link to the GMO sweet corn petition that Ron Nowicki mentioned.

Thanks to our members for keeping us updated and informed!
