Evergreen Elm’s biodynamic gardeners won 27 ribbons out of 28 entries in the vegetable judging at the McKean County Fair this week in Smethport. The group won 20 first-place blue, three second-place red, three third-place white and one fourth-place yellow. From left are blue ribbon winners, Jeff Van Scoter with his butterhead lettuce; Kari Johnston with her hot round peppers; Patty Price with her white onion set; Robert Tubbs with his rhubarb; and Randy Johnson with his yellow thin fleshed peppers. Evergreen Elm master gardener L. A. Rotheraine credited their success to their love and enthusiasm for the work they do in their Evergreen Elm Garden in Bradford.
