Do you like our preserves and sauces? Well, we're back at it with a new shipment of premium mustards, dressings, and chutneys from Atlantic Mustard Mill in PEI. You'll find that these mustards are ✨far from the usual✨with sweet, savoury, and salty spins on the classic, or the extra-daring "black label" products like black garlic, wasabi, and szechuan peppercorn! Mix and match your favourite three in a "connoisseur box" and save! 💵 Will you be gifting, or stocking up your pantry?

Last chance for seeds this season before we take them off the shelves in September! Either stock up for early sowing next spring, or start a fall crop now! 🌱 Some plants benefit from warm seed germination but cooler growing temperatures, and have a short enough growing timeline to still be sown before our typical first frost in mid-October … try beets, carrots, chives, radish, spinach, green beans, kale, or peas. Don’t forget… the best way to keep weeds out of those empty spaces in your garden where you’ve harvested is to plant another round in its place!

We have a new plant of the week to start off the weekend! This "Little Lemon" Goldenrod is a sweet, cultivated dwarf variety, considered a "polite" goldenrod in that it doesn't spread as vigorously as native varieties, making it more suitable for smaller gardens. It's still perennial to our zone (comes back every year), drought tolerant, and loved by pollinators! 🐝🦋
