2010 Best of Missouri Market® 1

I am looking forward to attending my “first” Best

of Missouri Market® and the opportunity to

learn more about my new home, Missouri. It is

impressive to know that this event has continued

to grow for nineteen years under the constant

care and attention of the co-chairs Nora Stern

(left) and Ellen Dubinsky (right). Their unsurpassed

dedication has helped to create one of the

regions most anticipated and beloved events.

all monthq Plant spring bulbs among hostas,

ferns, daylilies, or ground covers. As

these plants grow they will hide the

dying bulb foliage.

q Plant container-grown and balled-

and-burlapped trees and shrubs now.

Loosen the soil in an area five times

the diameter of the root ball before

planting. Mulch well after watering.

Continue watering, if soils are dry.

q Store apples in a cool basement

in old plastic sacks that have been

perforated for good circulation.

q Sow cover crops such as winter rye

after crops are harvested.

week 1q Christmas cactus, potted azaleas, and

kalanchoe may be left outdoors until

night temperatures drop to 40º F.

q Continue harvesting tender crops such

as winter squash and pumpkins before

frost. For best storage quality, leave an

inch or two of stem on each. Dig sweet

potatoes before a bad freeze.

q Gourds should be harvested when

their shells become hard or when their

color changes from green to brown.

q Cover tender plants with sheets or

lightweight fabric covers to protect

from frost.

week 2q Cannas and dahlias can be dug when

frost nips their foliage. Allow the plants

to dry under cover in an airy, frost-free

place before storage.

week 3q Transplant deciduous trees once they

have dropped their leaves.

q Monitor fruit plantings for mouse

activity and take steps for control.

q Continue mowing lawns until growth

stops. Keep leaves raked off lawns to

prevent smothering grass. Now is a good

time to apply lime if soil tests indicate.

week 4q Plant tulips now.

q Trees may be fertilized now, following

soil test guidelines.

q Place wire guards around trunks of

young fruit trees for protection against

mice and rabbits.

q Winterize mowers before storage.

Corn and Avocado Salsa From the Herbal Cookery Cookbook

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 14-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the corn and cook until some of the kernels are brown and slightly dry. Combine the corn, onion, bell pepper, olives, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, ¹⁄³ cup olive oil, the cilantro, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and mix well. Marinate at room temperature for a few hours. Fold in the avocados just before serving.

Note: Use as a salsa with chips, or serve over a bed of lettuce with sliced or wedge-cut tomatoes.

Sweet Green Tomato Pickles From cooks.com

Night before, slice tomatoes, add salt, and cover with cold water. Leave overnight. In the morning, bring to a boil, let cook on medium heat until not quite tender. Drain.

To make syrup: Combine remaining ingredients, bring to boil, lower heat and continue cooking for ½ hour. Add tomatoes to syrup and cook for 5 minutes. Remove tomatoes with slotted spoon and fill hot sterilized jars.

Add 1 cup each of brown and white sugar to liquid and boil until thickened. Pour over tomatoes and seal. These pickles can also be made in a crock.
