Habanada Peppers. A Habanero without heat. I tried growing them for the first time this year. The flavor is extremely bland and so its not for me. I love trying new plants! Some are wonderful and some are not. Have you tried a new-to-you food this year? What was the verdict?

If you are joining the Sprout Along beginning Sun June 29th you will need just a few materials.
1. A 32oz glass jar (I prefer Ball)
2. 2 TBS of seeds to sprout (I like alfalfa/broccoli mixes)
3. A mesh top (I like the plastic type with little feet)

You can source these locally or online. I'll also have a kit available for pickup if you are local to the Rochester, NY area for $10. The kit is one jar, one lid and 4 TBS of sprouting seeds

I had the pleasure of attending Master Gardener Barbara Cummings presentation on composting today. Did I sit in front row to dork out about dirt? Absolutely I did.
Do you want to do it to? They are doing another one coming up! Click their link to find out more!

Today’s COMPOSTING 101 class was a huge success. Join us on June 25th for a repeat performance at the Webster Arboretum in the Curry Building from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. The presenter is Barbara Cummings from the Wayne County Master Gardener Program. She is an expert on this topic and has presented at various forums in our area. Please go to websterarboretum.org to let us know you will be coming. This opportunity was provided to us through a grant received from The Genesee Finger Lakes Chapter of the Air & Waste Management Association (GFLAWMA) and there is no charge for the class.

Need to raid your compost bin but only some of it is finished? Grab something like a tennis racket or mesh-style waste paper basket and strain out some into a bucket. This works if your compost is no longer "hot", but still has some larger chunks.
