Sun Journal shares UMaine Extension tips on growing, storing in-season vegetables
Information provided by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension about how to grow, use and store in-season fruits and vegetables in Maine was featured in a Sun Journal column about preparing fresh-from-the-garden produce. The author refers to UMaine Extension as a “local resource to answer your questions and provide great advice in case you need it.” The column included information from UMaine Extension on some July garden favorites, including cucumbers and snap beans. “Freezing green beans and making homemade pickles are simple and easy ways to increase access to a year-round supply of local foods and reduce food expenses,” according to UMaine Extension.
