From Molly at Kountry Vittles:

Hello everyone, it feels so good to be back in the kitchen and participating in the Market again. I am now able to offer a new size option for a few of my items. I rolled out the new size last week on my quick breads and the coconut cake. This week I can now offer the German Chocolate cake, the carrot cake and I added a pineapple upside-down cake as well. I also added a Lemon Blueberry under the quick breads. This new 5×4 pan is the prefect size for when you want a little something but a whole bread or cake is just to much temptation. If you would like to suggest something you would like to see offered in this size you are welcome to let me know. I’d love to hear from you. Now I’m off to my kitchen to create.



From Carter at CS3 Farms:

Check out our herbal honeys, mustards, and garlic, as well as ginger fig and watermelon shrubs – refreshing drinks to beat the heat! We will be out of town next week, so be sure to get what you need this week.

(L to R) Lavender infused honey, Hot Thyme Red Wine Gourmet Mustard.



Remember:
No contact delivery available for no charge during this time!
Just ask on your order comments.



From Linda at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

The July heat is hard on plants. Be sure to water them enough to maintain their structure and not become weak and limp. Remember: more sun, more water. Also just about every plant prefers a gentle soaking to a dumped bucket. Keep them happy and they will reward you with lots of blooms and/or fruit.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some late season bloomers beginning to show their stuff. While the coneflowers and pincushions continue to bloom all summer, they are joined by the beautiful late double orange daylilies. The gorgeous blue plumbago, or leadwort, are also just beginning to bloom now.

The ferns have been restocked, and we have a good supply of 11 varieties. Varying in height, foliage color, and texture, they will add a lot of interest to the shady areas of the garden. And we have also restocked a good selection of Fresh-Cut herbs, with 7 varieties currently available for your cooking pleasure.

Does your garden need a shrub for variety? We have some beautiful large Pieris (Andromeda) which would be a beautiful specimen plant in a shady area. They are carefree and even deer resistent! From the early spring red foliage to the lovely white flowers, what’s not to love about Pieris?
