Someone lost this beautiful hand knit child’s at the downtown farmers’ market this morning. If you recognize it or own it, please PM me. I will take it home and bring it back to the market next Saturday.

. The days have been long and lonely during this winter of CoVid but it’s time already for the first PRFM outdoor market!

Gus is going to have more flowers and even more varieties this season 🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼💐 but if you want to grow some gladiolus in your own yard - he will be at the OUTDOOR MARKET on Saturday (On Charlotte Street, between George and Water) selling corms for you to plant.

Come say hi to Gus - but no shaking hands or kissing!

What a difference a year makes!

Here at THE BACK 40, most of the bulbs and corms have been dug and stored for the winter, and the fields have been tilled and are ready for sleep.

Do you remember November 7th, 2019 when we had 10” of snow fall in less than a day? (Swipe) Then winter continued relentlessly until May. Bulbs rotted in the ground, 100 new peony plants were lost and it meant that before any planting could be done in the spring - a field cleanup had to happen.

Very thankful that in this never-to-be-forgotten year, Mother Nature is gifting us this amazing weather and the time to prepare for next year!!
