It's been a cold, rainy spring and I know all of us are waiting for the sun and some warmth!! We are getting some warmth, but as I look out the window and listen to the birds singing for rain, it seems that the sun is going to be elusive...again.
But this morning, I visited a new Farmer's Market in Harbert. Called" Know Yer (sic) Grower" and sponsored by Shore of Plenty, it is open from May to October and held on Tuesdays in Soe Cafe's parking lot from 5-7:30 pm and on Saturdays at the Harbert Community Park from 9-2 pm. ( All times are EST). What a sign that spring is actually here!
Produce isn't in yet, but the farmers are offering a wide array of flowering plants, herbs and vegetables. I talked to Mark at Blue Star Produce ( "certified wholistically grown"), who gave me growing and fertilizing advice on the heirloom tomato plants that I bought.
Bought some cookies from two lovely ladies ( one is getting married in August!) though I managed to resist the coconut balls that looked scrumptious!
And bought some flowering plants from Leo Jovanovich and discussed the River Valley schools.
Saw friends, learned some things, and in general, celebrated our lovely area and the talented farmers who are our neighbors. So, go visit them next Saturday or on your way home from wherever on Tuesday.
