STRAWBERRIES!!! TOMATOES!!

I was happy to see that Stokes Farm and Cherry Lane both have strawberries today. Another bulletin --KEITH IS BACK!!! He's brought young rocambole garlic and young scallions, as well as cut herbs and other goodies. Stokes also has cut herbs and TOMATOES! Mountain Sweet Berry has beautiful baby wild arugula and other choice greens. Quattro's has various smoked poultry, sausages, and various eggs. Violet Hill has Belle Rougechickens and delicious bacon.

Irises! Peonies! RHUBARB!

Gorzynsky has RHUBARB. Paffenroth's variety of greens and herbs is growing, as are those of Norwich. Durr was already sold out of the unique orange peonies, but has brought in beautiful bearded irises and many lovely peonies in pinks and reds. Northshire has French sorrel and Mountain Sweet Berry has lovage and wild arugula as well as (probably) the last of their ramps. Duva has exquisite irises.

I'm going away for a couple of weeks but will be back on May 29, so I'm planning to check out the new arrivals on May 30, which I'm hoping will include strawberries and sugar snaps, although with this weather, who knows!
