Food Issue 60 years of Family Service FMC celebrates 60th anniversary

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

J

eff Egusa swore he would never come back to Molokai to work in his family’s grocery business. But more than 30 years later, he calls the decision to continue the legacy of Friendly Market Center the best decision of his life.

It all began when his dad, Alex Egusa, was fired from his job working in the grocery business operated by the Y.K. Yuen family, which owned four stores on Molokai in the early 1950s. Jeff said a group of fellow employees quit when his dad was let go after a difference of opinion, and shortly afterward, they decided to open their own store together in 1953.

That was 60 years ago when Friendly Market first opened in the storefront most recently held by Molokai Fish & Dive. The Yuen family still operated one of its stores across the street -- in today’s FMC location -- but when they closed, Alex and his wife moved their store into that space.

Meanwhile, Jeff’s aunt and uncle opened a small store behind a restaurant where Big Wind Kite Factory in Maunaloa is now, and later moved across the street to the present-day Maunaloa General Store.

Back then, that was known as “Friendly Market 2,” while the store in Kaunakakai was called “Friendly Market 1.”

“My aunt used to load up her station wagon every morning with fresh produce,” recalled Jeff. She’d pack it up from FMC 1 and drive up to Maunaloa. Twice a week, they’d load up the truck with dry goods to supply the second store.

Jeff and his sister Judy remember growing up in the Kaunakakai store.

“We had to start working here when we were 15 -- we made $1.25 an hour!” laughed Judy.

For Jeff, there was nothing fun about it.

“I remember working as a kid stocking shelves, and I looked up at my dad and thought, ‘I never, ever want to work in this business,’” said Jeff. “Things changed when I met my wife.”

She never returned to her school position.

When the family sold FMC 2 in 1986, Judy began working at the Kaunakakai store.

The store used to be half its current size. In 1985, the family decided to renovate and expand its capacity and services. The existing warehouse was converted into storefront, and a new warehouse was constructed behind it. During the whole renovation, which took three to four months, the store was closed only one day, said Jeff.

“My girlfriend used to say, ‘let’s go every day to see the changes!’” said Judy, adding that customers were very supportive of the renovation process.

For Alex Egusa, Friendly Market was more than just a business.

“The store was his life,” said Judy of their dad. When the family took out a loan for the renovation, they used their own home as collateral.

“If the renovation failed, they would have lost their house,” said Jeff. “I always felt so much pressure not to fail.”

That commitment to the business is carried over in the family’s support of their employees. Since 1985, the store has shared profit with all those who work there.

“I cannot in my right conscience have someone work for me their whole life and get nothing but social security and a thank you,” said Jeff.

Now, he said Friendly Market’s 40 employees have been able to make a more stable future for themselves and their families.

“I’m proud that they’re able to save more money than they probably would have otherwise,” he said.

Adapting to Today’s Market

Despite what Crystal calls the myth that Molokai prices are higher than off-island stores, she said smart shopping from suppliers enables FMC to pass on the deals to their customers.

“People think prices are so high on Molokai, but many people don’t realize how much cheaper prices are here grocery-wise,” said Crystal.

Barking Deer Farm

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

F

armer Jamie Ronzello believes that healthy soil is the basis for healthy plants and animals -- a belief she puts into practice at Barking Deer Farm.

Located on a small plot of land at the Mahana Stretch, Ronzello’s farm produces a wide variety of vegetables in a process she calls “beyond organic.”

While not certified organic, she grows food by viewing the farm as a sustainable whole.

“I don’t rely on bagged, organic fertilizer but rather use composting, crop rotation and cover crops to encourage living, dynamic soil,” she said.

Using these methods, Ronzello produces salad mix, head lettuce, carrots, green beans, beets, radishes, turnips, soybeans, snow and snap peas, onions and leaks, kale and variety of herbs -- all on less than an acre of land. She sells these crops weekly to Friendly Market Center and Outpost Natural Foods in Kaunakakai. While small farmers often struggle with being able to produce enough crops to offer a reliable weekly supply that grocery stores or restaurants usually need, Ronzello said both Friendly and Outpost have been “really awesome.”

“They tell us to bring things in as we have them,” she said. “It seems like they really want to support local farmers.” She added that she plans to also contact Misaki’s Grocery in the future.

In addition to supplying the stores, Ronzello also offers veggies to a small following of regularly weekly customers to whom she delivers produce. Like a small Community Sup-

ported Agriculture (CSA) operation in which consumers sign up to receive boxes of produce directly from the farmer, Ronzello said she serves seasonally between four and 10 local customers.

She added that she also plans to begin regularly offering her crops at the Saturday Market in Kaunakakai in the fall.

“I want to see it revitalized with local farmers,” she explained.

Another facet of her business involves value-added products Ronzello makes from mostly local ingredients, including jams, jellies, herbal teas and seasoning rub made with coffee These are available on Molokai at vendors like Blue Monkey, Kalele Bookstore and the Molokai Livestock Co-op. It’s an area Ronzello said she plans to expand, and she is now in discussion to market her products on Maui.

In addition to running Barking Deer Farm, Ronzello leaves Molokai for two months every year to teach sustainable organic agriculture classes on the mainland.

Mango Mania

be a simple processing plant in town with a storefront for selling the mango. The product could also be used like Krispy Kremes, with education or sports groups selling them around the community.

She said if groups supply and chop their own mango, they could save that cost for their fundraising. And the people already donating their mangos to her could get a tax write-off if it was for charity. These mango donors already receive some finished product in exchange for their generosity, plus they don’t have the fruit falling and rotting in their yard.

She has sold her dried mango at the Saturday Market, outside Imports Gift Shop and at Kamehameha School events.

But mostly she gives it away to friends in the community and supporters of her daughters’ robotics activities.

Opo Squash Soup (Tabungao) Submitted by James Temple

This delicious Filipino recipe is the most common recipe for Opo (long squash) here on Molokai. Other nationalities also enjoy soups with opo, adding fish or shrimp instead of pork or chicken, and the addition of lemon grass, sesame oil and local spices for seasoning.

Ingredients: canola oil for frying 2 pounds fresh pork chops, sliced thin (pork ribs, ground pork, or chicken dark meat is my favorite) fresh cracked black pepper to taste 1 whole bay leaf, ripped in half 1/2 yellow onion, sliced thin 4 roma tomatoes, cut into chunks 2-4 cloves of garlic, crushed, peeled, and minced fine 1 tablespoon minced ginger 4 cups cold water 2 tablespoons white vinegar 3 tablespoons fish sauce (nuoc mam or patis) 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1- 2 pound small long squash, peeled, seeded, and cut lengthwise, then cut into 1/4” slices (4

Brown and cook until medium well done, about 10 minutes on high heat. Season with pepper and bay leaf while frying. Add onions, tomato, and garlic. Continue to stir fry until vegetables are translucent and wilted.

Add additional oil if needed. Add 4 cups of water to pot, cover and bring meat to a boil then lower heat to simmer. Simmer until meat is tender, about 20 minutes. Add fish sauce, soy sauce, and white vinegar to soup.

Add squash to pot and cover. Simmer until squash is soft, about 20 minutes more. Add more pepper and fish sauce to adjust to your taste. Serve with white rice on the side or in the soup. Makes 6 servings.

n many parts of the continental U.S., hot dogs conjure up the long, hot “dog days” of summer. But in Kaunakakai, every day is a dog day. For years, the Hot Dog Stand has been an unassuming staple for a quick and satisfying meal in town. Located in front of Imports Gifts, it has changed hands many times over the years, but it’s now owned by Maria Watanabe of Imports, who bought it five years ago, and operated by her sister, Epping Racca.

Classis hot dogs are sold for $5, and topping options include onion, sauerkraut, sweet relish, jalapeno and chili.

The sauces available are mayo, mustard, ketchup and cheese. The stand also offers drinks and chips, or a meal deal for an extra dollar.

Don’t want to eat your dog on the run? You can enjoy more relaxed seating behind Imports, where tables and chairs

await for those wanting to savor this local stand-by.

While Watanabe admits business isn’t booming, the Hot Dog Stand is one of the only dining options during certain circumstances. Because the hot dogs are cooked on the spot using a propane stove, it remained up and running during the island-wide power outage May 15.

“It was wonderful day for the stand last month -- it was the only place that could cook anything!” laughed frequent customer Mike Prewitt.

ach Friday night, Lucas Ruppel is in the Lanikeha Community Center kitchen using a wooden paddle to mix dough in a big stainless steel bowl. Depending on the batch of bread he’s making, he could add in garlic, local mango or flavorful cheeses. He’ll make as many as 100 loaves each week.

It is all organic sourdough, and since his ingredients for the various loaves rebaking debut at the Saturday Market in quires different prep times.

Though all his bread is sourApril, he already has built a strong fan dough from the same starter, he offers base of bread enthusiasts.

“People call and ask when it will be out of the oven,” Ruppel said.

“People buy a bunch to give it away….

They don’t want to see me disappear.”

These supporters know how tough it is to make a business work on Molokai, and they also know that Ruppel has something unique. He sells out most weeks, supplying bread to an even balance of visitors and locals. He markets towards the health conscious and the bread-lovers, using organic, non-GMO flour that’s herbicide and pesticide free.

Sourdough bread requires a starter, which holds microorganisms that allows the dough to ferment. Ruppel uses a San Francisco starter, creating artisan bread with a tangy taste and soft texture. Sourdough bread is leavened, which means it contains yeast that causes the dough to rise and ferment. This fermentation is what gives the bread its tangy quality. The starter allows the microorganisms to enter the yeast, which ferments for about 12 hours. The yeast is then mixed into the basic bread dough and left to rise for another 12 hours. After that, Ruppel forms and bakes the bread.

“It’s pretty time-intensive; it takes a lot of scheduling, especially when you’re doing 100 loaves and you have to schedule them at different times,” Ruppel said, adding that the different

a wide range of options. White, whole wheat, mango and garlic are some of the selections he has at his table each Saturday. He often experiments with new flavors and could soon offer lilikoi and other Hawaiian-inspired loaves. His breads go for $6 to $12, but he said increasing production would help lower prices.

Ruppel grew up working in family members’ restaurants and bakeries. He lived in Portland, Ore., before he moved to Molokai three years ago.

He worked as a home remodeler on the island, but when his wife had their fourth child, he decided he wanted to spend more time with his family and get away from the chemicals, paint and dust involved in remodeling.

“Farmer markets where I’ve lived have sourdough bakers, and I saw they didn’t here [on Molokai],” Ruppel said. “So I thought I’d try it and see what happens.”

In the future he said he might add pizza to his selection and sell in Kaunakakai throughout the week.

This would mean setting up an oven right off the sidewalk, something he has already talked about with the Department of Health.

For now, though, he’s bringing in the dough each Saturday, selling the artisan breads he creates every week on a table he built himself.

Molokai Food Reviews Reviews provided by local foodies and Yelp.com.

Big Daddy’s

Michael C. Came here two days in a row for lunch because the slow-cooked roast pork was so good. Great homemade chili sauce. The chicken Katsu was a little dry.

The banana lumpia (50 cents) was a great dessert.

Elsa’s Kitchen

James Temple Elsa’s Kitchen, serving delicious Filipino food, as well as local dishes. I would recommend the green papaya chicken, one of my favorites. Elsa also makes a mean fried chicken or roast pork. I also like her green papaya chicken soup, but everything on her menu is quite good. The portions are large, so you always leave fully satisfied, for a reasonable price.

Gene P. Newly re-opened Elsa’s Kitchen is a breath of fresh air in the food atmosphere of Kaunakakai! Elsa’s serves breakfast all day long with a small price increase for breakfast items after 8 a.m. The food here is straight forward, simple yet very tasty and quite reasonably priced for the size of their portions. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. The revamped menu of Filipino, Local and American selections is supplemented with a nice variety of Daily Specials on the board up front. Everything from grilled Mahi Mahi and Salmon, Roast Pork, Kalua Pig, and Chicken Papaya to a Parmesan-crusted Chicken. An excellent appetizer of Vegetable Lumpia to start our meal was a nice surprise and served hot with a sweet chili dipping sauce. The Pancit Noodles were generous and flavorful with a nice mix of vegetables with your choice of chicken or shrimp. The BBQ chicken marinated in shoyu and ginger was tender and plentiful along with traditional steamed rice and macaroni salad. A to-go box was necessary! Elsa’s also offers a small but tasty dessert menu consisting of Halo Halo shave ice, Ube Macapuno, cheesecake and ice cream for the keiki or your sweet tooth!

Kamoi Snack-n-Go

Ed L. It felt like one of those small-town ice cream places, friendly attitude and service with a smile. I like that fact that homespun flavor and atmosphere that you can’t really beat anywhere else… The service was great and I would look forward to coming back again. We all got some ice cream here and it was magnificent. Very delicious and pretty much homemade, I think.

Kanemitsu Bakery

James Temple Kanemitsu’s Bakery is famous for their Hawaiian Sweet Bread. The restaurant has a few tables and booths, and the food is popular with the locals and visitors. Blossom, the manager/chef, serves specials everyday, I love the ox tail soup on Friday. Also when you go into the restaurant, notice the three old murals on the walls depicting hula dancers, painted by an unknown artist when the bakery was built in 1935.

Janice U. One of da BEST culinary experiences on this island is experiencing hot, freshly-baked-out-of-da-oven sweet bread made by Kanemitsu Bakery.…I highly recommend da strawberry w/cream cheese and/or blueberry w/cream cheese! Dey put ‘em inside da bread and buggah broke-da-mout’! You get bombucha (big) kine portions, too. Even wen da ting stay cold, buggah stay ‘ono, too, but mo’ bettah wen hot.

Kualapu`u Cookhouse

James Temple This small casual restaurant is popular with both locals and visitors. The service is warm and friendly, delivering an array of local Molokai food favorites for breakfast, lunch and dinner, like grilled mahi mahi with rice or fries and macaroni salad, spicy crusted ahi tuna with house made lime cilantro sauce with rice or potato, vegies and

Brett M. The menu is pretty extensive and has everything from local plates, to sandwiches, to country fried steak, to “island gourmet” daily specials. Simply, the quality and care put into the food here would make people happy anywhere.

Michelle K. …The prime rib is amazing. It is HUGE pieces of meat with amazing flavor. Definitely a must. We were warned that we needed to come early but we didn’t want to miss out on some sun that day to get there at the 5 pm opening dinner time. Instead we got there around 6:45 and they still had plenty of prime rib. Other days we were there we had ono and salmon. Both were delicious. I really think that you can’t go wrong no matter what you order here. The service was always great and the food always came quickly. They even overheard us talking about my birthday and brought out a cupcake with a candle for me!

Maka’s Korner

Margaux F. One of my favorite places to eat in Kaunakakai . The Mahi Mahi plate is really good.

Compared to Paddler’s, their prices are decent, you get more food, and it is way faster. You can also eat outside, which is rare in Kaunakakai where most places are indoors.

Manae Goods and Grindz

Horace A. The people who work here were all outgoing and friendly. As a bonus, the store also has a little food counter that serves fried saimin noodles and chicken katsu plate lunch, teriyaki, burgers, etc... This stuff, while not exactly good for you, tasted like the best food in the world after a long day…. All around Goods and Grindz is a great resource for this part of the island.

Molokai Burger

Jennifer S. During my visit to Molokai, I actually ate here twice. I had burgers both times. The first time was the Molokai Cheeseburger and second visit was Molokai mushroom burger. I liked both of them. I even chowed down on the husband’s fries and liked them, which is weird for me as I’m not a big fry fan. They give you a dipping sauce which I suspect is ketchup and mayo mixed together, but what do I know? The large drinks are HUGE... 44 ounces!

I also really like that they carry both Pepsi products and Coke products. KUDOS for that! The staff was pretty friendly - not overly so, but appropriately so. The location is quite clean, including the bathrooms.

Outpost Natural Foods

Chett F. Amazing variety for such a small store. Fresh local fruit.

Healthful choices, including the prepared food at their snack bar (delicious vegan burgers and burritos). And prices no higher than Whole Foods on Oahu. And the staff is friendly and loves to “talk story.”

Paul L. Went there with the family and we enjoyed it. The Poke and the Korean Ribs are really good! My wife had the Mahi Mahi and said it was well prepared and tasty. The service was friendly and the customers are colorful! We were just sorry that we were not able to catch the live music!

Pizza Café

Eve S. We went to this restaurant and the first thing I’ve noticed was the cleanliness of the place, the waitress are wonderful, works hard for their customers. What a very busy restaurant in the small Island of Molokai....People have their great smiley faces. Very good pizza especially with everything on it., I had order the other one too but forgot the name, it was so addicting and it’s really good with the sauce too....nice to live in this quiet Island too.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “To know when to stop is of the same importance as to know when to begin,” said the painter Paul Klee. Take that to heart, Aries! You are pretty adept at getting things launched, but you’ve got more to learn about the art of stopping. Sometimes you finish prematurely.

Other times you sort of disappear without officially bringing things to a close. Now would be an excellent time to refine your skills.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it’s hard to determine whether or not they are genuine.” So said Joan of Arc back in 1429, right before she helped lead French troops in the battle of Patay. JUST KIDDING! Joan of Arc never had the pleasure of surfing the Web, of course, since it didn’t exist until long after she died. But I was trying to make a point that will be useful for you to keep in mind, Taurus, which is: Be skeptical of both wild claims and mild claims. Stay alert for seemingly interesting leads that are really time-wasting half-truths. Be wary for unreliable gossip that would cause an unnecessary ruckus.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During the past ten months, you have been unusually adventurous. The last time you summoned so much courage and expansiveness may have been 2001. I’m impressed! Please accept my respect and appreciation. You’ve had a sixth sense about knowing when it’s wise to push beyond your limitations and boundaries. You have also had a seventh sense about intuiting when to be crafty and cautious as you wander through the frontiers. Now here’s one of your assignments for the next 12 months: Distill all you’ve learned out there in the borderlands and decide how you will use your wisdom to build an unshakable power spot back here in the heart of the action.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was one of the most influential scientists in history. He produced major breakthroughs in both chemistry and physics.

Have you ever used devices that run on electricity? You can thank him for playing a major role in developing that wonderful convenience. And yet unlike most scientists, he had only the most elementary grasp of mathematics. In fact, his formal education was negligible. I propose that we name him your role model of the week. He’s a striking example of the fact that you can arrive at your chosen goal by many different paths. Keep that in mind if you’re ever tempted to believe that GEMINI (May 21-June 20): French Impressionist painter there’s just one right way to fulfill your dreams.

There may Kierkegaard. “In order to aspire to the truth one must undress even be a touch of pleasure once the catharsis kicks in.

It’s time for you to age those you trust to do the same. make yourself available for as much of the raw, pure, wild truth as you can stand.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are you familiar with Quidditch? It’s a rough sport played by wizards in the fictional LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Gertrude Stein was an innovative world of Harry Potter. All seven books in the series mention writer. Many illustrious artists were her friends. But she had it, so it’s an important element. Author J.K. Rowling says she an overly elevated conception of her own worth. “Think of the dreamed up the sport after having a quarrel with her boyBible and Homer,” she said, “think of Shakespeare and think of friend. “In my deepest, darkest soul,” she reports, “I would me.” On another occasion, she proclaimed, “Einstein was the quite like to see him hit by a bludger.” (In Quidditch, a bludger creative philosophic mind of the century, and I have been the is a big black ball made of iron.)

reen onion adds flavor to some of Molokai’s most loved dishes, including fish and saimin. But for homesteaders Kalani and Lokae Han, green onions – or scallions – are a career. Kalani began growing the crop 30 years ago when he began farming.

“In order to stay in business, I had to find a steady market,” Kalani said.

“Green onion was it.”

He grew taro first, but said he needed a crop that would be in steadier demand. He was able to harvest weekly and supply local stores with the popular ingredient. Lokae said now they can provide Friendly Market Center and Misaki’s Grocery any amount of green onion any time of the year.

“We don’t plant a lot, but we do plant constantly,” she said. “We have a system where we’re always putting

There are hot Panini breakfast sandwiches, Tuna Melts, Grilled Veggies, Rustic Ruebens and my personal favorite, the Chicken Pesto! If hot sandwiches are not your cup of tea, try any of their Gourmet Sandwiches made with Black Forest Ham, Pastrami, Roast Beef and Turkey on your choice of breads and cheeses.

“They been producing and supplying green onions really reliably for a long time,” said Crystal Egusa of Friendly Market Center, one of the vendors the Hans work with.

Over the years, the Hans have faced challenges of dear, disease and slow markets. But now they are facing something else – the need for sustainability.

“In the past [farmers] could get away with just growing one crop, but nowadays there are more of a need for diversifying produce,” Lokae said. “If the barge doesn’t come in, we have to take care of ourselves, and part of that is growing the things we need and eating the things we grow.”

She said they are diversifying their farm and helping Molokai move toward sustainability by growing lettuce, cabbage and leafy greens.

Bring the Restaurant into Your Home Molokai Culinary Center News Release

Because there are few hotel options on the island, many of our visitors rent houses during their visit. Experienced vacationers find that having a kitchen and preparing meals might save money, but it can ruin the holiday for whoever does the cooking. The same goes for locals wanting to enjoy a casual meal or special dinner in the comfort of their own home.

That’s where chef Don Hill comes in. He will cook one meal for a couple or look after a group of up to 20. He buys most of his ingredients on island from local producers where possible, choosing organic ingredients as available. Through menu planning and his kitchen experience, he can serve most groups whatever they want for about $20 per day (food cost only).

“I know it sounds low compared to what you spend on groceries at the store, but there are explanations,” said Hill. “First of all, there is no wine, beer or soda included, nor do I include paper goods or cleaning materials – those are the things a homemaker buys at the grocery store that run up what they think is their food bill.”

Menu planning is also a key factor, according to Hill. “Plan the menu so that the leftovers, if you have any, fit nicely into the next meal. Deal closely with the client and ensure that everyone gets enough, and keep leftovers to a minimum.”

When not serving meals, Hill loves to teach local cooks. He said there are many skills that keep costs low, im-

prove quality and reduce the amount of salt and fat in one’s diet. By using what he calls “real food” -- fresh ingredients -- we can know what we are actually eating.

“Much of the processed food we eat has salt, sugar, fat, and other additives that we are used to and we like, but are not doing us any good,” he said.

Hill runs cooking lessons on a very informal basis. A client gathers up a class between one and eight people, decides on what they want to learn and when they want to do it. Hill books them into his home “kitchen studio” and provides education and entertainment for about four hours. This certainly will include “taste as you go, and may include a meal, if that’s what you want. He asks for help with the cost of ingredients, but asks only for donations for his time. This goes to social programming for his church.

Many residents don’t have the luxury of a large yard or homestead, but can still look forward to fresh vegetables grown at home. An important step is matching the vegetable variety to the size of the pot you’re planting in. Except for occupying a contained area, growing in containers is just like growing in the ground, and you face the same challenges, including pests and diseases.

The rule of thumb is varieties with large roots require larger containers.

Making containers from recycled materials such as wooden boxes or plastic flats is a good start. Five gallon buckets are great for growing cherry tomatoes, eggplants and even chili peppers. Ginger root and olena also grows best in large pots. Herbs are a natural choice for pots, such as basil, thyme, oregano and mint. Shallow boxes are ideal for planting greens such as lettuce, green onion, pak choy and other Asian greens. If you’re in a very hot area, growing them in shade or putting a screen over the flat will enhance tenderness and control insects. Air circulation is critical to keep greens cool and prevent them from bolting prematurely.

The most critical part of growing vegetables in pots is not allowing plants to dry out completely, since

it will damage feeder roots. Irrigate more frequently, but still allow them to dry a little before watering again because roots need both air and water for optimal growth. Growing in limited soil space also requires more frequent doses of low concentration fertilizer, so weekly weak doses of liquid fertilizers can hasten growth of seedlings and large plants.

Young plants need higher nitrogen such as 20-10-10 type, then a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 type as they get older, while fruiting vegetables can utilize the same regimen, but require a 10-30-10 during flowering. The ratio is more important than the numbers. Fish emulsion is useful as a seedling fertilizer and also for growing greens. Other important nutrient sources include blood and bone meal, incorporated into the soil mix prior to planting.

Potting mix can get expensive, so making compost with organic matter from your yard, and recycled waste, such as ashes, fish bones or rubbish fish, and even dried seaweed and sand can add important nutrients. Keeping your mix a little moist and turning it over on a regular basis will speed up the breakdown. Make a large batch about six months before you need it to allow it to cook and breakdown, killing weed seeds.

Some vegetable varieties have been developed for potted culture, and many are considered dwarf or miniature varieties.
