NEWS AND NOTES

Spring came rolling into Middle Tennessee last week, and the mild weather promises to continue this week too. Some of the winter vegetables aren’t faring too well because of the mild temperatures. But never fear, we’ll still get winter – probably in April!



Tami from White City Produce & Greenhouses writes:
I added some green onions this week. Still have plenty of cider. A great hot beverage on cold winter days when heated in a crock pot. Will be another week or so before tomatoes are back.



Dogwood Valley Greenhouse plans to set up a sales display at market again this Thursday, with some beautiful hanging basket houseplants, Aloe vera and Rex begonias. And maybe even a few more flowering Christmas cacti. Pick up a couple of plants to beautify your home and to help raise the inside humidity this winter.



We will be glad to deliver your order to you, at home or a location of your choice, on Friday afternoons for a small fee. Order delivery just like any other product.





(L to R) Green Onions and Muscadine Cider from White City Produce & Greenhouses, Apple Crumble Pie from Kountry Vittles, Bibb Lettuce from Frontier Family Farms, Aloe vera plant from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.
