Gracious! What a wonderful summer it has been. We have so enjoyed meeting and getting to know so many great people! We are truly blessed to share our passion for gardening with all of you.
You are invited…
This Friday, September 11 (Patriots’ Day) we will be hosting our Fall Sale and “Fancy Fixins’” at Vanessa’s. (For directions, please see the “Fall Plant and Produce Sale” tab). Our Junior Foodie (with some assistance from the rest of us) will be serving some of our favorites from this past summer. Fried eggplant – and it really is incredible, Onion Curls – wonderfully sweet, they melt in your mouth! and for something amazingly different, we will have Stevia for you to taste too.
We will, of course, be open on Saturday, September 12 from 8 to noon, but we could only book our gourmet cook once so if you aren’t able to make the Friday event – we will gladly hand out the recipes (and I will post them here too).
Aside from the Fall Sale (and food fun), this weekend saw the harvesting of over a hundred pumpkins, broom corn, Indian corn, etc. Our kids decided that hunting pumpkins beats Easter eggs hands down! As you can see, the rewards are just tremendous!
This is just one truck load! Broom corn with pumpkins.
The green “gourd” is actually an heirloom watermelon called “Moon and Stars.” It will turn blue and have a host of large and small yellow spots. Delicious!
Harvesting broom corn that is over 12 feet tall!
The Indian corn is simply breathtaking this year.
The variety and depth of colors always amazes us.
We look forward to seeing you. Make plans to attend and bring a friend!
