As an Italian American my fathers family came from Castel Vetrano, Sicily. My mother's family came from the mountains in the Alto Adige of Northern Italy, a town by the name of Segno. In honor of my Sicilian Heritage I'll be adding a number of Siciilan Recipies that I wrote.

@ Dave,
Suggestion to help prevent cutworms causing havoc,
When the plants are young take a plastic cup, cut a hole in the bottom and place the cup around each plant with the large open side facing up. When they grow up a bit remove the cups.
