Decatur County Extension Homemakers News and Recipes

Eileen Fisse Greensburg Daily News

Greensburg — It seems time flies faster all the time, next month it will be fair time again. I hope everyone is planning to exhibit and also participate in some of the activities.

If your club needs an idea for a tour or going to a seminar the Decatur County Historical Society is the place to go to learn about gardening. Their exhibit through June 30 is Gardening Through Time. The museum is opened Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. If your group wants a special time just give them a call. They would be glad to work with you.

They also have a seminar June 9 beginning at 10 a.m. There will be several speakers. Hank Martin on Bonsai, Mrs. Miller on Herb Gardens, Sarah Nahmias on Water Gardening and other speakers. Just call them for more info.

I have couple of quick and easy recipes.
