The season is changing

The season has definitely changed from the hot, humid days of summer to the cool, breezy days of Fall.

The season change also reminds us that it's planting time again for winter vegetables. Last week we planted beds of broccoli (started from seed using Hydroponics), collards, mustard greens, and turnip greens. Of course, the peppers are thriving in this cooler weather too.

Hope to see you at the Forsyth market on Fridays. Remember you can special order from us all throughout the coming months too. 

Just email me and we can make it happen.

A bushel of Jalapenos

 Check out the bushel basket full of jalapenos picked from the backyard. Great weather, great markets this weekend and great harvest too.

Remember next weekend is the last Saturday market in Monticello. No worries though, you can preorder now to guarantee we'll have what you need

Hope to see you soon. Eat Local garden to table..

Muscadine Grapes have arrived

 The muscadines have arrived and we anticipate many jars of the popular Lake House Muscadine Jelly. We picked three bushels from Rebecca and John's vines in our Labor Day tradition of relaxing at the lake.

We look forward to seeing you Friday and Saturday. Remember preorder for guaranteed availability.

Pears have arrived

The pears have finally arrived this week. 

We are busy making pear preserves and will have them ready for the markets this weekend.

Eat Local!! Hope to see you this weekend!

 

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!
