Popcorn and Planning

Making Italian Ice from garden strawberries got 18 votes, and growing pumpkins got 12 votes. Youth came up with the ideas and ranked them last Saturday at the Junior Master Gardeners Popcorn and Planning meeting. After planning this year's garden, they tasted recipes like caramel corn and chili popcorn from popcorn they grew last season. Of the 20 youth who attended, 5 were new to JMG. Everyone is welcome to come to the next JMG event, April 14 at 1 p.m., to start seeds indoors. For more information call U of M Extension at 437-9552. This weekend's event was captured in video, print, and photo by Austin Post Bulletin.
