Are you one of those adventurous people who will try anything? Get to the 6th annual Cleveland Garlic Festival at Shaker Square early because Mitchell's garlic ice cream, made especially for the festival, sells out.

Sat 9/6-Sun 9/7. * The Ohio State Extension offers a wealth of information and assistance for those who want to grow better, more abundant veggies.
