Hello, friends!

Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market is now open for ordering. The market opened at 8 a.m. this morning, and will be open until Tuesday at 10 pm. Pickup will be on Thursday from 3:00 till 4:30. We have more variety than many large Saturday markets, and our items will be in your hands on Thursday! Instead of fighting the crowds and getting up early to search for what you want at the Saturday market, check out the wonderful products our local growers have for you, from the comfort of your own computer. We appreciate your support of your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items.

NEWS AND NOTES

From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

With somewhat lower temperatures and lots of rain, now is a great time to get a jump on your spring gardening with perennial and herb plants and ferns. Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a great Fall Special for you. Buy 3 perennial or herb plants or ferns (mix-and-match), and get one of equal or lesser value at no charge. The free plant is your own choice from my market list, subject to available stock. Sorry, lavender and rosemary plants are not included in this offer. Most of the perennials are out of bloom, but fall planting will give them a chance to develop good strong root systems to allow for great spring bloom. Please add a message on your order including your first, second, and third choices for a free plant. We also have a few gorgeous large hanging baskets which, although not included in the special offer, will really add color to your porch or patio.

We still have lots and lots of summer vegetables on the market. This week we have zucchini, tomatoes, summer squash, red potatoes, peppers, onions, okra, lettuce, cabbage, and cucumbers. Local milk and eggs; pork and chicken cuts; and more are available here! Three types of dried herbs and eight of fresh are also available to flavor those dishes! We have lots of homemade herbal products too.

(L to R) Just a sampling of the perennial, fern, and herb plants included in the Fall Special from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: Lambs’ Ears, Dwarf Coreopsis, Autumn Fern, Lemon Balm, and Silver-Edged Thyme.
