Now Starring at Your Local Farmers Market or Garden – Summer Squash

Aug. 25, 2009 - PRLog -- Summer squash, from “A”mbassador to “Z”ucchini, is reaching its peak. Master gardener Lee O’Hara (http://www.organichomegardener.com) gets his directly from his garden, less than an hour before preparing them for the table.  For those who have yet to take the plunge into gardening, Lee says: “Get thee to a Farmers Market. Find the stands with organic produce and buy the most recently picked.”

“Summer squash is picked young.” Lee continued. “Look for squash that feels heavy for its size (usually 6 to 10 inches long). Steam them or sauté them briefly – they don’t need much cooking – and they will reward you with a fabulous, mild flavor.”

Lee O’Hara also urges people to get started on a garden now, even if it is in large pot. Growing your own is addictive in a good way, and soon you will be growing all you need. He converted his yard to an organic garden 25 years ago and has helped many do the same. O’Hara’s website is devoted to assisting those who have started growing their own food and total beginners alike. His DVDs “Organic Home Gardening Made Easy” and “The Organic Tomato” are a compilation of decades of experience that can turn virtually any thumb green.

O’Hara’s website, www.organichomegardener.com, is a treasure trove of gardening advice and technique. Presented in an easy-to-understand way, it is intended to help those who are gardening or want to start. “You don’t need to buy the videos to get started. An intention to eat well, the ability to read directions and a little persistence will result in a good garden. The videos are there to help you make your garden great and feed you, your family and all your friends very well.” O’Hara concluded.
