MELONS
Good evening,
Just a quick note to remind you that we will be at the New Albany Farmer’s Market, Saturday 8-1 pm. Here’s what is available… tomatoes, we will have lots to choose from, some 19 varieties. We will also have corn, fresh dug “Kennebec” potatoes, “candy” onions, cabbage, zucchini, yellow summer squash, cucumbers, eggplants, fresh garlic and peppers. Kenny’s various types are loving this hot weather and we will have many to choose from.
The hot weather a few weeks back was extremely hard on our green beans, they are finally coming around. We will have plenty in the coming weeks, but they will be scarce this Saturday. The hot dry weather was just about as hard on the blackberry and peach crop; the blackberries are almost gone and will be as scarce as the beans. Peaches are ripening but slowly; we plan to have them through August depending on the weather and the ripening.
We will have our local Indiana grown cantaloupe, honeydew and seedless watermelons available. We cut the first honeydew at the market on Wednesday and it was delicious. I just cut-up a small watermelon and cantaloupe for breakfast in the morning, I’m sure they will be great when they are really cold. Stop by on Saturday and pick some up for your family!
If anyone wants to pre-order produce to have ready for pick up, just e-mail me and let me know early Friday. I will have your order ready when you arrive Saturday morning. We also have a “Basket of the week” which includes a little bit of everything available the current week. The “Weekly Basket” runs $25 and always includes fruit when available.
Hope to see you Saturday at the market,
Val & Kenny
