Good Stuff in The Garden!

Hello Garden Fans!

 

Yes, I am still here!  We are OPEN and glad to be.  Thanks to all of you who sent me emails begging me to stay open, you really lifted my spirits and gave me a new direction to follow. 

 

As you know, these past few months were "a tough row to hoe" as the weather was less than ideal for all of us.  It brought us all down.  If I learned anything from this past few weeks it was that we need each other, especially in these times.  I always look forward to seeing and talking to my customers both new and regulars alike!   

 

Next week, Jen will be returning to muster up some wonderful sweets and baked goods.  I tried making quiches the other day and discovered, after making them that I had way too much filling left over.  They cooked pretty well, but didn't set up right.  Jen just happened to drop in and thats when I discovered I was using the wrong measuring cup and instead of cups, it was in quarts.  so, the "3/4 cup of cream" turned into "3/4 of a quart of cream".  You can see the predicament.  Quiche is better left to the professionals.

 

The local produce is coming in in dribs and drabs, but we still have a great selection from Maine and New England.  We have green and yellow squash, broccoli (from Presque Isle) Carlson's (Dresden) green beans, red and russet potatoes, onions, red onions, garlic, shallots, green bell peppers, red peppers, fresh basil, corn and a whole lot more.  Maine carrots will be in shortly and apples!  

 

This week we have boneless chicken breast and ribeye steaks, perfect for grilling!   And today we have MJ's vegetarian baked beans!  I always look forward to MJ's homemade baked beans on Saturdays, they are awesome! 

 

I hope to see y'all in the store this weekend!  (I will be in the store this afternoon and evening)

 

Have a great day!
