We are growing several varieties of potatoes and onions that vary in color, shape and taste. We are even trying a potato started from seed. No garden would be complete without a few flowers. At the demonstration gardens this year we are growing salvias and gazanias. Come see if they can handle Iowa's summer extremes.
Salsa is the number one condiment in the United States.
Even ketchup is second to salsa. Growing and making your own salsa is easy. Each garden has a collection of vegetables that are common ingredients in salsa. We plan to prepare several different salsas during the field days. The research farm at Allee inspired us to try something different in many of the gardens this year.
