Market News

Well, Fall can be felt in the early morning hours and that is a wonderful hope of the coming of cooler days :).
Tennessee may be fickle with her weather, but she always stays true with wonderful changes of seasons. Keeps things interesting!

Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse sends this:
The forecast for next week’s weather may be a bit optimistic, but it indicates somewhat lower temperatures. It’s time to start thinking about fall gardening. For the last couple of years, I’ve made an effort to acquire some perennial plants that bloom in August and September. Everywhere you look, you will soon see chrysanthemums. Let’s do something different this year! Currently blooming at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse are: Anemone (tall and showy in white or pink), Plumbago (very pretty blue), Toad Lily, Pincushion Flower, Hardy Begonia (lovely pink!), and several colors of Carnation. We have several types of ferns, as well as furry soft Lamb’s Ear, that will all look very nice alongside these bloomers. And in the very near future we will have in stock Flowering Cabbages. Fall gardens do not have to be all about Chrysanthemums!

Thanks so much.

Blessings,
Linda

Peppers!! This year’s pepper crops have been DELICIOUS!

Flying S Farms added Poblano have a richer and deeper pepper flavor with just a mild to moderate heat, with Scoville rating of only 250 to 1,500. The shape and open interior is perfect for stuffing, frying, salsas or when used in favorite recipes.
