Miss Victoria makes weekly visit to FM2 2017-09-16 - Farmers Market on the Square, Campbellsville & Merchant Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Miss Victoria, of Miss Victoria's Pampered Angus Ranch paid her regular call on the Farmers Market on The Square, FM2, and reported on bird problems in Greater Bliss, where 19 Wild Turkeys invaded her Hunter Place over the Flat Woods and proved very bothersome to the registered guests, her girls, the pampered Angus of the name. That's New Townie Joe Hare, seated. He does not grow a garden, as traditional townies are supposed to do. Any advice for Mrs. Vickie's Bird Problem would be appreciated. Miss Vicky was most proud of her initiation of the lighting of Pinewood Shopping Center when she called a high ranking Kwik Lube officer, who, in turn called a high ranking Pinewood SC officer, and almost immediately the lights came on and a bit of vandalism her 'girls' and she had been observing came to a halt. Though one can get advice on almost everything at the farmers markets, Miss Victoria awaits advice on the wild turkey situation. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Ground Cherries: Kin to Tomatillos; same family as tomatoes 2017-09-16 - Farmers Market on the Square, Campbellsville & Merchant Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. One of the most popular items at the Community Garden stand at FM2 Saturday, September 16, 2017, were the Ground Cherries. Dr. Mike Bosela told inquiring visitor new to ground cherries that for many people they are an acquired taste, and that most, on initial tasting, either like them or have an adverse reaction. We found them delightful, and neat to eat once one gets the hang of it, learning how easy it is the squeeze the husks, expel the glistening fruit, and consume. There's also the same satisfaction one gets from creating a biogradable pile of husks, similar to the pleasure of creating pistachio shells or crawdad shells. Three year old Piper Renfro sampled them, like the taste, and enjoyed another. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

At Farmers Market on the Square: Community Garden provides wide variety 2017-09-16 - Corner Merchant & Campbellsville Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com(c). In the Community Garden booth at the far end of FM2, director Dr. Mike Bosela, center, provided fruit, vegetables and herbs available for donations. It was a popular place where everyone wanted to know what was in the box full of little grape-sized items in their own wrappers -- looking like teensy versions of the Mexican husk tomato, Tomatillo. Dr. Bosela and his helper, LWC student Colby Greer from Glasgow, front left, patiently explained as they offered free tastes. Pictured at right are Renee, Dwight and three-year-old Piper Renfro, who had her first taste of ground cherries. In back at left are Jackie Montgomery and Linda Waggener tasting and exclaiming over Lime Basil, stocking up as they made great plans to make and freeze Pesto. It sounds so simple, as in one recipe featured in the New York Times which proclaimed Pesto as "a mouthful of bright summer". After cleaning the Basil, remove stems and grind it with garlic and oil to create a sauce for pasta, fish or chicken dishes. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Piper Renfro, 3, taste tests ground cherries at FM2 2017-09-16 - Corner Merchant & Campbellsville Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com(c). At age three, we believe tasting buds are much sharper, so the adults waited for little Piper Renfro to bite into ground cherries at the Community Garden booth at FM2 in order to know if they were good. The daughter of Renee and Dwight Renfro of Columbia, Piper held up one of the little fruits and offered a nod that they are good. Her Mom said she liked melons and these had a little of that taste which might explain why Piper, who was tasting Ground Cherries for first time, liked them.
