Variety, Variety, Variety

It's looking like a great weekend for the tailgate markets.  We have great produce that should make you smile.

Beans – Morgan beans, Blue Lake beans, and Greasy beans (just add ham hock and potatoes for a real treat)


Potatoes – red and white

Peppers – Cayenne, jalapeno, and cowhorn (for varying degrees of heat) and sweet banana and green bell peppers for good color

Eggplant – Ichiban, black beauty, and thai white (yes, white)

Tomatoes – Striped Roman, Amish Paste, Roma, Brandywine (red and yellow), Rutgers, Mortgage Lifter, Moskvich, Copia, Big Rainbow, Chadwick Cherry (red), Dr. Carolyn, (yellow cherry) and Green Grape.

Cucumbers - those great Japanese longs and pickling cukes

Grapes - they are really getting sweet

Corn – well that has a little more story attached. Our corn continues to be sought after by the most discriminating bears and raccoons. Oh, they only like the best and they like ours. What the critters don’t devour, we will offer to you. Both white and bi-color corn will be available.

Rain, Finally

Here at Deerwood Nursery, we have not had significant rain in over a month. We have been able to sit on the back porch and watch the storms all around us, but none here, until a few days ago. Thank you God for the rain!
