It’s going to be another beautiful day for the market this Saturday… stop by for more sweet corn, green beans and home grown tomatoes… a few heirlooms and just plain ole red ones. It’s been really dry for the past few weeks and the gardens are beginning to see the effects, Kenny is hoping to keep the veggies coming but it’s not looking good. We have been irrigating, but that just may not be enough.
Swiss chard is back… but on a limited basis. We will have plenty kale for your greens this week. Also… new potatoes, beets, cucumbers, zucchini, cabbage, yellow squash, bell peppers, and eggplant. Kenny will be bringing more candy onions and a wide variety of peppers, mild and really hot ones.
Winter squashes are ready, we will have butternut, acorn and spaghetti this week and buttercups in a few more weeks. Apples are ready, we will have Jonagold, Golden Delicious and Mutzu this week.
We are still offering our “Baskets of the Week” every Saturday. If you are interested, please email me by noon Friday, val@russellveggies.com. The prices will remain the same as last year…$16 for the small ones and $32 for the half bushel size. It takes lots of planning to make these happen, they are done fresh Saturday morning and are pre-order only.
We will have more of our homemade goodies; pickles, jams, etc… along with Kenny’s Grilling Planks and my homemade Blackening Spice.
Have a great week and we hope to see you at the market,
Val & Kenny
