Thank You for Your Vote!

THANK YOU!  Tucson Organic Gardeners would like to give a big Thank You and a round of applause to the Peace Center for their well-organized and successful Peace Fair last Saturday, “Leap Day!” Our Organization had a table at the well-attended event and enjoyed the people, the music, and the food.

In the spirit of the election season, we gave visitors an opportunity to vote for their favorite or most appreciated vegetable that we can grow here in Tucson during the Fall and Winter season. We displayed vegetables from members’ gardens. Thoughtful voters chose garlic and onions as the winning vegetables. (We do use them in many of our favorite dishes!) Broccoli and Snow Peas tied for second place. Cherry Tomatoes were in Fourth place. Yes, we know they are a fruit but are used like a vegetable! Leaf Lettuce was fifth and Kale and Parsley were tied for last. It was a great Day!
