Temperatures will be close to 100 but we'll be there at both markets ready to satisfy that jam and jelly feeling. As the weather has warmed up, our produce has increased too. Look for lemon cucumbers, Shishito peppers, eggplant and zucchini and much, much more.
Be smart! Stay hydrated and shop with us early before it heats up. We're ready to go every market day at 7:30 AM. Check out the harvest from this morning!
See you soon!!

Here's the produce we will bring to the markets this weekend, certainly an increase from last week.
Lemon Cucumbers, small sweet peppers, eggplant, a zillion zucchinis, squash, regular cucumbers, colorful carrots and our favorite jellies and finishing salts for you to purchase.
Hope to see you this weekend. Eat Local!!
IT'S ON!!
Picking time has officially arrived as you can see from the pictures below. Squash, zucchini, eggplant and cucumbers are in abundance. Sunday, we picked another 15 beautiful zucchini (think Zucchini Bread) and 12 squash. Today, there were 9 more zukes and 6 more squash along with our first eggplants and lemon cucumbers.
Definitely will have this produce at next week's markets.
But during the week we will enjoy roasted vegetables, vegetable frittata, and of course our favorite homemade vegetable pizza.
Eat Local!
That's the name of the game for the next week or two.
Our vegetables and produce look great and are growing at a fast pace but we must keep reminding ourselves to be patient. The cucumbers, zucchini and peppers should be ready next week but then we are optimists. Radishes and carrots are ready now though.

We had an interesting first market weather wise in Forsyth Friday. Started out with a chance of severe weather after lunch but it arrived much earlier. Rain from 9:30-11:00 but at least it was only rain nothing severe. Still time for a great market. However, the winds picked up and stayed with us the remainder of the day. It made for an interesting day, selling product and holding on to the tent to prevent it from blowing away. We were also excited to see so many of our regular customers come by to check out our products.
We are looking forward to next Friday and hopefully a calmer weather pattern.
Zucchini pizza for supper- YUMMY!
With the onset of warmer temperatures, it's a sure sign market season has arrived.
The Main street market in Forsyth opens Friday, May 6 from 9AM-5PM.
This will be our fourth year participating in the market and Backyard Garden Creations is looking forward to a great season. We have many new items from our small batch garden to share with our clientele and we hope to see you this Friday.
Oh by the way our tomato count is at 420!

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!
