This week, we did a ton of cleaning up, bed prepping & planting of two varieties of onions at one of the peri-urban sites.
We also have lots of bedding plants available at the market: several Heirloom tomato varieties, beet greens plants, horseradish, garlic, sugar peas, cat grass (wheat and oat grass mixture) and rhubarb.
Here is Wally watering the newly planted spinach in his backyard garden plot. Today we did a major clean up of another city backyard garden plot as well as some spinach planting. There will be much more planting to come throughout the week…
Also, a pleasant surprise: Wally found some extra rainbow carrots in his cold storage room, so we will have lots at the market tomorrow!
The Prairie Harvest Cafe, which uses our pea shoots and veggies, was featured on the Food Network’s show You Gotta Eat Here! Click on the link below to check it out:
It may still be snowing here in Saskatoon, but planting for the upcoming season has begun. Thanks to Wally’s year-round grow rooms, he is able to start his bedding plants indoors. Tomato bedding plants are now available at the market stand.
This week, when the weather permits, Wally is busy planting beds of onions, garlic and spinach.
There are still lots of live garlic and onion plants available for sale at the market for all your onion-garlic needs in the meantime. You can clip the greens and use them just as you would use chives.
Also available at the market are lots of delicious fingerling potatoes (and some Purple Peruvians, Caribes, Reds and Bintjes too).
After a long digital absence from this site, we are back (and sorry)! Please stay tuned for regular updates.
This week we have four varieties of potatoes (Fingerlings, Caribes, Purple-fleshed Peruvians and Red), carrots, pea shoots and microgreen salad mixes, live onion and garlic plants and even cat grass. Come down to the Saskatoon Farmer’s Market and stock up on some healthy, local, and chemical-free grub.
Also, Saskatoon’s own Chef Jenni will be sampling a dish made with our fingerling potatoes this Saturday at the market. Make sure to come by and sample some.
We hope to see you there.
