(top, L to R): Laundry Soap by Cindy’s Suds is now available in a 16oz trial size; “Martha Washington Balls” by Kountry Vittles are to die for!
(Bottom): Solace Farm lotions smell heavenly and really work; Frontier Family Farm offers microgreens in several varieties.
It’s daylily time at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse! Suddenly, the orange rebloomers are showing off and egging on all the others! The astilbes and coral bells, both in several colors, are also beginning to bloom, and the coneflowers have big fat buds. We still have azaleas and coreopsis in bloom as well, so you can overlap your sequence of bloom in the garden. Of course balloon flower (we have several colors) will bloom all summer. For your porch or patio, we have several houseplants and hanging baskets, as well as a new crop of African violets coming into bloom. Don’t forget about our beautiful embellished herb pots, great as a gift (even to your patio!) We still have a good selection of pepper and tomato plants, but these are selling low. For the shady areas, we have several very nice ferns, with more on the way. We are updating the market with some “Fresh Cut” herbs, so be sure to check that section when you shop. Lastly, we have only two of the big herb gift baskets “True Love of Mine” left – get yours soon!

Farm News of the Week

Welcome to The Wild Berry Farm in Decherd. Hannah Hughes has opened her first season selling with our market by listing
 |
 |
(L to R, top) Arugula “Sylvetta”; Baby Lettuce Mix.
(L to R, bottom) Baby Spinach.
Michael from Frontier Family Farms says that Morris and Hefty, the Greenhouse Cats, have been a huge help in getting vegetables planted. This team has recently added some more delicious vegetables:
 |
 |
(L to R) Asparagus and Lettuce “Trust Your Farmer”.
It’s tomato and pepper plant time at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse! We’re officially past our “average date of last frost,” April 22. It’s been basically an “early spring,” which to me means the ground may be warmer than usual. So I think it will be safe to plant tomatoes and peppers by May 1, and the ground should be warm enough then to encourage growth. I would suggest purchasing your tomato plants this week and keeping them in the pots, in or near your garden area, for another week so that you can bring them inside if we hit another cold night. Heirloom tomato varieties I have this year are: Brandywine, Supersweet 100 Cherry, Mortgage Lifter, Mr. Stripey, Rutgers, and Beefmaster. Pepper varieties are: Purple Beauty, Sweet Banana, and California Wonder.
I’ve also updated quantities and availability on all the perennials, herbs, and hanging baskets. You will notice several newly available now, and a couple of new-to-market additions within a week or so.

Short and sweet this morning. The market is open for ordering. Sorry, I really need to grab a few hours of sleep before getting up early to deal with our Easter dinner preps before church. I will try very hard to send out an actual newsletter this evening or Monday – but in the meantime, please scroll through the categories. I’ve edited them down a bit for easier searching, but please let me know if you can’t find something you know was “right there.” Please check especially the vegetables and the live plants. Both have been substantially updated.
Don’t forget about our Tullahoma Friday pickup location, if that’s more convenient for you. Please encourage your Tullahoma area friends to check out our fantastic market!

Yes, we have market news this week. But I participated in the Barn Sale at Farrar Hill Farms this Saturday, and have not had time to put together a newsletter. I just wanted to let you know that the market is open for ordering. Look for your newsletter later this afternoon or evening, but in the meantime, here’s a hint: check the “What’s New” section at the top of the market page. Feel free to place your order, and if the newsletter shows something you missed, you can place a second order anytime before Tuesday evening.
Don’t forget about our Tullahoma Friday pickup location, if that’s more convenient for you. Please encourage your Tullahoma area friends to check out our fantastic market!
