Hi, folks!
Welcome to spring, at long last! The birds are so raucous as I work in the greenhouse! I just love living in the country!
This morning opens another week of shopping at Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market. The market will be open for ordering until Tuesday at 10 pm, and pickup will be on Thursday from 3:00 till 4:30. This year-round online farmers’ market offers eggs, herbal products, local honey, vegetables & greens, live plants, and pork products, all produced on local farms. We appreciate your support of your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items.
NEWS AND NOTES
FROM DOGWOOD VALLEY GREENHOUSE
This strange spring weather continues, resulting in all the spring perennials blooming at the same time. The woodland and sun phlox, columbine, coreopsis,
vinca, and catchfly are still glorious. Joining them in bloom this week are the astilbes, early carnations, Sweet Williams (dianthus), Foam Flower & Jacob’s Ladder, as well as a few early azaleas. We also have lots of different herbs and several nice varieties of hanging baskets. You can definitely set these perennials in your garden now, although I would wait a couple more weeks to add any annuals you might want.
We will soon have tomato and pepper plants in several varieties. It’s a bit early to plant them now, but you are welcome to email me at tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com for a list of varieties and to reserve your vegetable plants.

Thanks so much for your support of Manchester Locally Grown Market, all of our growers, local food, and our right to eat it. Please encourage our local farmers by helping to spread the word about our wonderful market to everyone you know. Nothing makes a farmer more excited than seeing new customers on the market!
