The Saginaw Farmer's Market opened last Friday and will remain open through October. Through the kind generosity of Renee's Gardens and the American Horticultural Society the Master Gardeners were able to give away free seeds. Fortunately there were plenty of people at the market to give them to.
The weather was a bit brisk so Waunita and I dressed warmly in hats and gloves. Being there was well worth it as I have missed being able to buy fresh produce from the farmers directly. Aileen Cowan from Black Dog Farm was there with spinach and radishes grown in her hoop house plus many vendors selling flowers and a local beekeeper selling honey and beeswax products. And I had gumbo for lunch!
So if you are in the area on a Friday between 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., head on down to Washington across from the 7-11 store and stop by the Master Gardeners table and say hello to us!
