Trip to Local Greenhouses




































Last weekend we went shopping for the garden, first stop Rosemeyers. They have an amazing selection of everything and many greenhouses. We bought 4 large Better Boy tomato plants with flowers and tomatoes already on them. We also bought 8 Roma plants because we can a lot for winter and make salsa. We bought Jalapeno, Cayenne, and Habanero pepper plants for our spicy jams we make sell at the farmers market. I also bought one eggplant and one summer squash because my husband doesn't really like either one. We also purchased some Basil and oregano. Next stop was Adopt-A-Plant where we visited with the owner, we know her from local farmers markets, we bought Lemon basil, and cilantro there. Now to get everything in the garden.

Peace

Why I love Summer











This is why I Love summer, the Farmer's Markets. You can purchase the freshest fruits and vegetables there. Also the farmers are local so less gas and better for the enviornment.

Our local market also has music every week and we have heard some amazing musicians this summmer.

There are also local artisans with handmade soap, jewelry and clothing.

So please shop your local farmer's market and support local farmers.

Peace
