Jr Master Gardener 4H Dinner

Tw

Two weeks ago we had the missionaries for dinner and our four grandchildren wanted us to come to a 4H dinner where they were showing off their talent growing vegetables under the 4H Jr Master Gardener program. We finished dinner just in time to go to the 4H dinner - not really ready to eat. They show cased salsa, soup, baked vegetables and zucchini cookies. Not being a salsa person I cannot comment on it but I tried the rest and they were quite good. The baked vegetables were very delicious. According to Lisa: "They weeded, learned about healthy eating, made several items including, jam, salsa, watermelon cooler, several salad dressings, and more things with the harvest they pulled out every week. They harvest one crop and planted another. They sold the surplus at the farmers market to raise money for a shed and met many new and different people there." They also had to make a presentation at the dinner about a part of the program and it was fun to see each of them present. Qatar was quite impressive and will be a good public speaker. Qatar was busy when I took the pictures so he is not included.
