Cool Weather Seedlings available at next Farmers Market

This blog is a good venue for letting folks know what I'm going to have at the  next Farmers Market. It also seems a great way to give some interesting information about particular plants and recommendations about planting and care. I'm excited about this! Especially the medicinals have such rich and interesting histories as well as uses. Most of the medicinals in my greenhouse will be ready by May. But during April, I'll be selling cool-weather veggie seedlings like the ones above. It is too early to put the tender annuals out in the garden yet. But it is a great time to get the cool-loving plants into the ground. They can stand some frost.

The next farmers market in Iowa City is on April 9th at the Grant Wood Marketplace. At that market, I'll have the following:

4-Packs of vegetable seedlings @$2.50:
Arugula
Kale
Cos Lettuce
Bibb Lettuce
Swiss Chard (Bright Lights)
Collards
Cilantro
Dill
Chervil
Fennel

Big pots (second-year plants):
Rosemary - $8-10
Oregano - $6
Lavender - $6
Thyme - $6
Peppermint - $6
Anise Hyssop - $6

I'll also have a good supply of the two healing salves: Herbal Healing Salve (for skin conditions) and Arthritis/Joint Pain Salve. Prices of these: $6 for 1 ounce jar, $9 for 2 oz. jar.

I may also have some herbal shoulder pillows and eye pillows @ $24 and $9-10 respectively.
See you at the Market!
