Okra and Jalapeno time

This past weekend the markets were hot and humid but we still had a wonderful time serving our customers. Preorders are increasing too. Just email us what you want by Wednesday of market week and we'll make sure your items will be waiting on you when you arrive. Less time in the heat and no more missing out on your favorites.

Even though our  tomatoes are in short supply and figs are in abundance, we do have other vegetables that are just now entering their peak seasons. Two of those are peppers especially jalapenos and the old southern favorite okra. They arrived at the markets last weekend and immediately became a customer favorite.

Garden to table! Eat local!

The Figs have arrived!!

 At Backyard Garden Creations we look forward to certain milestones for our garden.

Planting, the arrival of zucchini, squash, and green beans. Definitely the first tomato sandwich!  Finally, the last one for the summer is the arrival of our figs. We are excited to offer you whole fig preserves just like your mother used to make, strawberry fig jam and fig jelly. Tasty treats which are homegrown and handmade.

Hope to see you at the markets. Come visit as these items do not stay on the table for a long length of time.

Hot Weather, Tomatoes and great times at the markets

The intense heat finally broke a bit this past week from the consistent 100's to the mid 80's. We actually had showers last Monday which was the first rainfall in over three weeks. Our plants finally had a week without heat stress and are actually in the process of rejuvenating for the coming months.

Tomatoes are in abundance as are zucchini, eggplant, cherry tomatoes and variety of sweet and hot peppers.

The markets have been awesome! The Market on the Square in Monticello has been averaging 35-40 vendors every Saturday. Definitely makes for an interesting day!

Hope to see you soon! Find us in Forsyth on Friday and Monticello on Saturday.

Eat local!
