Something New!

This year we are growing gladiolas for the first time.  We will have them at the market this week, selling them by the stem.  The color choices will be yellow, green and pink. We have fond memories of vacations in Chautauqua where gladiolas could be seen on most porches in the summer.

Gladiolas at Chautauqua

Endeavor Farm gladiolas

The tomatoes are coming along but would prefer more heat and less rain.  When Elizabeth worked on an organic farm on Cape Cod a few summers ago she introduced us to the plastic clips that we now use to support the vines.  The clips allow the vines to continue to grow without restriction. The pickling cucumbers, Brandywines, Super Sweet 100's and Sungolds are coming along.

This week we will have: Flowers (mixed bouquets and gladiolas), beets, green beans, beets, swiss chard, lettuce, basil, kale, fresh garlic and jams.

See you at the market!
