The Monticello Market on the Square is less than a month away. We are looking forward to seeing our market friends again. The garden is in process of being planted and will be ready for the market in May.
The tomato count today is 300 with the goal of at least 400 by start of the season.
Eat local! Garden to table!
The weather has finally turned nice and that means it's time to start digging in the dirt. We began planting peppers, zucchini and tomatoes this past weekend and are looking forward to more planting in the coming days.
The tomato count is at 26. We are excited.....The final count will be 400!
Honored to participate in the Alapahoochee Tractor Show this past weekend in South Georgia, Echols County. It was wonderful to catch up with old friends, relatives, and new friends. I spent a lot of time shopping the antiques and rusty metal! You need to put this event on your calendar. This event will have another round the last weekend in October and we plan to be there. Shopping the various vendors and selling our jams, jellies.
Look closely at the Suzie Scarecrows blowing in the wind. My sister makes those so if you are interested let me know and I will bring one to you. The frame is solid so you can dress them seasonally...they are so much fun in your flower garden.
What do we do during the Winter Months? Prepare new planting beds, order seeds for the upcoming season. But, because we love to keep our hands busy we made these for an upcoming Tractor Show in South Georgia. These are drink coasters in sets of six. Excited to share these with our friends and family in South Georgia, but also wanted to share these with our friends from our summer Forsyth and Monticello farmers markets. These handmade decorative coasters on sale at $10 for a pack of 6.
Stay busy, stay warm!
Winter is surely upon us at BYGC forcing us inside with subfreezing temperatures and wind chills in the teens. However, we turned that adversity into a positive seed starting and transplanting opportunity.
We planted Basil seeds, Tomato seeds and rooted Rosemary plants and put them under the Grow Light. In a few weeks, we'll move them to bigger pots and the cycle repeats itself over and over.
The Kiwis are ripening so we know it's time to make our delicious Kiwi Jam. We have been sold out since last May due to a poor kiwi crop in 2020. However, this year we picked over 200 kiwis. Our supply is fully stocked and ready for you Kiwi lovers.
We visited our South Georgia relatives for Thanksgiving and returned home with two bushels of Satsumas from the family farm. Of course, what did we do with them? make Satsuma Jelly.......and Minted Satsuma Bites. Just in time for Christmas gifts and holiday cooking.
