Full Spring

We used and old rabbit coop to screen our new batch of potting soil for the greenhouse. This batch uses perlite, compost, coconut coir, worm castings, mycorrhizae, macro and micronutrients. We are getting away from peat moss and vermiculite for reasons of sustainability and asbestos respectively.

Will report on effectiveness of new mix as results show.

Saturday Market on Broad 2010 Kick-off. It's hard to believe that this is our third year at the market. Looks like it is going to be a good one too! We will be back tomorrow morning after missing last weekend for the festival. Kate will be at market 8-2 and I will be at the shop from 10-3. Come and see us! If I get a chance tomorrow morning, I am going to stop by the Pendelton King Plant swap which starts at 9 AM.

  1. What kind of produce are you selling at the market this time of year? I'm thinking about making it down to the market some time soon, just curious about what to expect. Like the pics! Thanks for sharing.
