Plant Sale

 

Hi Farmsters,

Yes, it is wicked hot. It's so dang hot that I just saw my dog chasing a rabbit—and they were both walking. Look at the bright side, it’s a free sauna.

 

Dinner Event: On Friday, July 10th, we are going to have another one of our dinner with music evenings from 5 to 8 pm. The band, “The Familiars” (Manny & Linda Dias, Frank Carotenuto and Bob Nelson) play acoustic songs from the 1950’s thru the 1990’s and beyond on guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass, and harmonica with songs by Neil Young, Bob Dylan, John Prine, and many others.

 

Accompanying the music will be an amazing Buffalo Jump dinner. The main course will be a build-your-own Taco Bar with multiple concepts for fillings; fusion cuisine. We will be asking répondez s'il vous plaît, for reservations- fusion language (RSVP). The dinner will be BYOB, and pricing will be the same as Jamaican Night buffets.

 

Plant Sale: We are going to start our annual plant sale early. I must be suffering heat stroke to do this sale so early. Hanging baskets, round planters, and all our 4.5-inch flowers and herbs are now half price, or 50% off for you mathematical types. It is like getting two for one. Whatever way we say it the sale is a great deal. Supply is limited.
