Christmas Greens, Crosnes, and Tulips!

Flora Perfecta has TULIPS!!! and beautiful roses. River Garden is here with dried flower arrangements and Silver Orchid has lovely orchids. There are many stands with Christmas greenery and Mountain Sweet Berry has decorated wreaths and gorgeous garland.

Mountain Sweet Berry has tiny potatoes and crosnes. Paffenroth is here with an array of tasty root vegetables and both they and S&SO have some greens. Stokes has greenhouse ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS as well as various cut herbs and herb wreaths. Windfall Farm has several unusual kinds of turnip as well as various greenhouse greens. Keith is here with rocambole garlic, shallots, and winter greens.

I saw at least three chefs shopping for and finding interesting winter vegetables, so there still are some, although several farms will stop coming after the Christmas holiday
