Market News

The Market is back open this morning and produce is starting make a bigger appearance. New varieties of lettuce are available as well as an abundance of other greens. Garlic scapes have arrived too.

The weather has been consistently warm and if you are interested in starting a home garden, we have plenty of different plants that are perfect for anyone to grow. Now is the time to get your growing.

Notes from our vendors this week:

From Chef Jenny with JENuine Health

Strawberry Sweet Treats – this special treat was made especially for the Franklin Farmer’s Market strawberry festival. It’s a delightful mix of toasted sunflower, pumpkin, and poppy seeds that are sweetened with freeze dried strawberries, agave, and coconut sugar. For more information about the products visit the new website at: www.sostn.com.

From Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse

We have only one succulent planter and one windowsill herb garden left, so get yours soon! We do have lots of beautiful hanging baskets as well, nice for your patio this summer. Pick up an Aloe vera plant to help when you get sunburn – because you know you will!! Our tomato plants didn’t like the warm temperature in the plant room and are taller than planned, but still very healthy, and now reduced in price. Among perennial friends flowering this week are the astilbes, beard-tongue, carnations, coral bells, pincushion flowers, small sedums, yarrows, gauras, and lavenders. The many types of ferns and herbs are all looking really nice. Gift certificates from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse are available in any denomination on the market.

Thanks so much!

Blessings,
Linda
