Pineridge Hollow Farmers' Market June 15

Penner Pumpkins will be at the market on Sat.  Our vegetables aren't quite ready yet, but the Penner's are a crafty bunch so we will have for sale:
  • Jellies (Orange Mint, Apple Mint, Pineapple Mint, Jalapeno Jelly, Cherry Bomb Jelly (HOT), Apple Cinnamon Jelly, and A Mint of Everything (apple, orange, and pineapple mint).
  • Sweet Cucumber Relish
  • Sweet Zucchini Relish
  • Play dough
  • Handmade cards
  • Rhubarb
  • Tomato plants  (have tomatoes on them)
  • Pepper plants (have peppers on them)
  • Herbs
    • Sweet Basil, Cinnamon Basil, Thyme, a variety of mints, Orange Thyme, Thai Basil, Spicy Globe Basil, Rosemary, and many more kinds
For the most part our garden is doing really well.  It was a really cold spring so that set us back quite a bit.  Our zucchini have one inch zucchini's on them. Our greenhouse tomatoes are loaded with green tomatoes.  The potatoes and peppers are about to bloom and some are blooming all ready. The cabbage and head lettuce is forming heads.

The greenhouse tomatoes. We grow them in soil and when it gets warm we lift the plastic on the sides of greenhouse up.  These tomatoes taste like they were grown in the garden.  They are delicious.

Greenhouse cucumbers.  They are starting to vine and I think by the end of the month there will be cucumbers.  Our garden cucumbers are not in the garden yet.  Hopefully June 12 we will get them in.

We grow tomatoes in the greenhouse because we can get them in earlier and get tomatoes sooner.  Our greenhouse tomatoes always do better than the garden tomatoes.
