Tangled Branches: Cultivated
happenings in and around my zone 6b gardens in northern Virginia and in central Virginia
Saturday, September 06, 2003
Weather: cool, mostly sunny, pleasant. The forecast low for tonight is near 50 degrees.
Other people's gardens/farms: We made our 3rd trip in 3 weekends to the Arlington Farmer's Market this morning. Had used up just about all the vegetables and bread in the house, so we got a large haul today: peaches at Toigo Orchards, tomatoes at Wheatland Vegetable Farm, Juliet plum tomatoes at Potomac Vegetable Farm, potatoes at Laurel Grove, baby bell peppers at Red Rake Farm; chicken and duck eggs at Polyface, Rustic bread and Atoka cheese at McLeod, and croissant and cookies at Takoma Kitchens.
Wildlife: just saw a beautiful black/blue/orange swallowtail butterfly, but it wouldn't let me get its picture - will keep trying - this one was very pretty.
