Saturday, March 18 // Make You Garden Plans and get the goods at CFM
In case you missed the memo, GROW YOUR OWN has officially returned to Market! Don't let the freezing temperatures of the past week deter your home garden reboot - the extended forecast shows warmer days (and nights) just ahead - NOW is the time to put spring planting plans in motion! That said, we are hoping the below freezing temperatures of this week have not impacted too greatly the tender spring crops and fruit setting for our area producers. Whether you're looking to plant perennial gardens that offer flowers to enjoy throughout the seasons OR want to grow your favorite veggies to create your own supply...the options are abundant and forthcoming this season with expanded plant offerings available at Cobblestone EVERY week now through May...and beyond!
