We are very excited to be hosting our first monthly Monument Market Guest Speaker Gardening Workshop this Saturday, September 10th at 10:30am. Sam Slaughter from Gabriel Valley Farm will be coming out to give us the secrets to growing great garlic in our home gardens. Not only is garlic delicious and anti-vampire, but it has a long list of medicinal benefits and is easy to tuck in all over your garden and landscaping. Come find out what varieties are suited for Central Texas and get the run down on how to cultivate this pungent favorite. If you can't make it Saturday, I'll be recapping what Sam teaches us at next Wednesday's class at 1pm.
One thing I like to do with garlic is to combine it with eggplant and tahini to make Baba Ganouj. As fun to eat as it is to say, we'll have a new batch of the rich spread in the market on Saturday. So after learning the ins and outs of growing garlic on Saturday morning, you can grab a warm baguette and some fresh baba ganouj to munch on as you dream about your fall garden!
