Gardening with David Entz


One young man that is on his game as far as gardens are concerned is the youngest vendor at the market, David Entz.



This morning, David showed me around his garden. The pumpkins have taken over. It is hard to tell where the sweet potatoes, cucumbers and watermelon are exactly. Just looking over the garden all you see is a sea of pumpkin plants!




David has cucumbers, yellow squash, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, banana peppers and zucchini ripe for the picking. Any of which would be a great addition to your dinner table. Here is a wonderful cucumber salad recipe from David's mom Sharon Entz! Hope you all enjoy it.

Kansas Cucumber Salad

4 cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
1 c. mayonnaise
1/4 c. white sugar
4 tsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. dill weed

Combine all the ingredients and chill.




David's parents, Leland and Sharon Entz, operate Whitewater Tire, just southeast of Whitewater. So next time you need a flat fixed or a set of all season tires, swing by Whitewater Tire, but don't forget about David. He'll be over tending the garden, so check with him and see what's growing!

So pass by the produce sections at your super market and come get fresh from the garden veggies locally grown here in rural Whitewater!
