Hello From sweaters to t-shirts, can't say the weather is boring this year. Some beautiful days and star filled nights, so much to appreciate.
We have lots of strawberry plants to move and have some in pots for you to purchase or save alot and dig up your own. Strawberry plants are either June bearing or Ever bearing.
Ours are June bearing which means mid June to mid July they produce an abundance of berries. Everbearing means that they will produce fewer at one time but over a much longer time.
Both provide a perennial (year after year) sweet treat.
The delicious Niagara fruit we have been getting is coming to an end with only a few peaches available and moderate amount of plums. There will be more plums as of next week but that's probably the last.
We do get organically grown apples, pears and sometimes grapes from a local orchard. Hopefully next week will have Mac apples and Flemish pears.
Please bring back baskets, containers, egg cartons, even bags!
