Adios Aphids! 4/23/10

Big thanks to Nature’s Control for sending us some super hungry aphid destroyers! We have had some issues with aphids in the greenhouse so we called Nature’s Control in Medford, Oregon. They are number one in natural pest control, you can purchase their products from us or order directly from them at naturescontrol.com. Here’s some pics of our organic avengers hunting these destructive little pests.

What’s growing

We have Basil, Romaine, Cilantro and some Butter Head lettuce ready for market. The basil is loving the warmer weather but the lettuce not so much. Stay tuned to see our upcoming mods to cool down the greenhouse.

Todays harvest 4/10/10

I pulled one massive head of bok choi, 3 bulbs of fennel, 2 beets w/ greens, and some broccoli. Tasty stuff!

Viera Market at the Avenues

We were out at the Avenues last night with great success. Come join us every Tuesday 3p till 8p in the courtyard by the Pizza Gallery. Hope to see you there!

NEW Melbourne Farmer’s Market

We were there on the first day of this new market and the response was awesome! Big thanks to Barbara for getting us out there. We will be out at the corner of US1 and 192 every Saturday from 10am – 3pm. Stay tuned as in a couple weeks we will be out at the Avenues in Viera for an even bigger market. The Viera market runs Tuesday evenings officially from 4pm – 8pm but there are vendors set up as early as 1pm! Come out and support us at these two wonderful markets! (Give us a couple weeks to ge out to Viera. Our target start is February 16.) Thanks to all of Pam’s friends that stopped by from Lou’s Blue’s in Indianatlantic! And special thanks to grandpa for stopping by too!!!
