Goose Cove Gardens is one of Gloucester’s best treasures, a garden nursery with the healthiest plants and the nicest Karma.  Barbara, the lovely straw-hatted owner, is always protecting me from myself: “Do you really need five new Russian Sage, Heather?”

Ever the educators, Barbara and the ladies from Goose Cove Gardens are offering a midwinter course in growing one’s own micro greens.  Don’t we all want a little pile of fluffy, nutrient-packed baby lettuces this time of year?

Their workshop will be held on Sunday, February 28, from 1-3pm at Goose Cove Garden headquarters. For the small sum of $30 ($35 after February 15), you can learn from some true masters. Email gcgarden@verizon.net or call 978-281-7816 to sign up.

    Isn't it fun? A little microgreen salad, dressed lightly in evoo and lemon juice, on top of any dish that needs a bit of acidity, always make me feel like a real gourmand. It's fab that us regular home cooks can learn how to grow them ourselves.
