YOU WANT POTATOES WITH THOSE BEETS? - Jackson Ashby, Evan Bouley and Mathew Kelly of Scout Troop 189 describe their vegetables to Tammy Ouellette on Saturday afternoon.  The young businessmen were selling homegrown vegetables to raise money for the Scout local troop.

The young men planted, cultivated, weeded, and harvested their bounty over the growing season.  On Sunday they began to reap the rewards of their effort.

There were onions, beets, beans, squash, zuchini, potatoes and other vegetables.  The young gardener's enthusiasm may have helped them in the success of their sales.
