OLD GARDENER SAYS.... 
One excuse for growing your own vege- 
tables (beside the fact that they cost you 
less) is that you can never buy them as 
good as you can pick them from your own 
garden, 
Don’t be conservative when it comes to 
using your own produce. It costs you so 
little and you get so much that it will pay 
you to try some interesting combinations. 
A special favorite with many is a mixture 
of half Swiss Chard and half New Zealand 
“earthy” taste that some object to in chard. 
And have you tried lettuce cooked with 
young peas? A wonderful combination. 
Young green onion tops with peas is an- 
other. Speaking of green onions, try cook. 
ing them in bunches like asparagus and 
serving with Hollandaise sauce. A real 
treat for epicures! 
And, if you have a freezer, try freezing 
clean washed mint for winter use in fresh 
mint sauce. Remove flower buds and 
course stems before freezing,
