It is a beautiful weekend to get the garden in. Make it a family time. The 10 day forecast looks good for all veggies. Perennials will do well when planted now, especially if we continue to get several rainy days in a row, followed by these glorious sunny days, as we have been.
The Farm Stand is well stocked with quality starts and perennials. You can get some variety here that you don't see at other places. heirloom starts, quick producing hybrids, field grown perennials, and now HERBS!
The following Herbs are now available:
- Broadleaf Sage
- Parsley
- Spicy Globe Basil
- Marjoram
- Mammoth Dill
- Cilantro
- English Tyme
- Sweet Basil
Herbs (and other starts) are available as singles, two packs, or four packs.
- singles/1 pack = $1.00
- 2 pack = $1.50
- 4 pack = $2.00
Warm season veggies are also ready for sale. We have three kinds of tomatoes, including the Amish Paste heirloom. There is a nice red cherry tomato, and "the famous" Wisconsin 55 tomato, a nice older slicing tomato. Four kinds of pepper starts are available including: "king of the north" red bell which is a good producer in northern climates; Jimmy Nardello's sweet frying pepper, Hot portugal, and Joe's long cayenne hot pepper. The heirloom diamond eggplant is back again this year, along with Black King Eggplant. We are testing out a 51 day eggplant in our gardens for potential sale next year. Wouldn't it be great to get eggplant in July!
Early season veggie starts are still available and can be planted in many areas depending on your garden conditions. We have plenty of broccoli starts, lettuce and other greens, and also, three kinds of onion starts at the farm stand. A limited supply of Lancelot Leeks are also available.
Our perennial selection continues to grow. Iris, heuchera, New England Aster, Hosta, ladies mantle, scented geranium, astilbe, lambs' ear, blazing star, and more are all available. Perennials are $3.00 for the small size and $4.00 for large.
Finally, there are a few annuals for sale as well. Why not take home a pot of sunflowers, and grow them in a large planter on your patio? Our "glorious porch marigolds" are also ready and blooming. These tough plants get between 12" and 18" tall and are very bushy. They are quite showy.
The Farm Stand is always open and self service. Come on out to 40 Chestnut Hill Road in Orange MA, and pick up some plants!
