Plants were definitely the item of the day at this past Saturday’s Portsmouth Farmers’ Market. Aspen Hill Herb Farm sells the most amazing array of organic culinary herbs, perfect for my container/deck gardening and for snipping the right amount fresh from the plant all summer long.
Aspen Hill’s Herb plants:
Beautiful organic basil plants from Aspen Hill:
Meadow’s Mirth Farm made these adorable and informative signs for their organic plants.
In addition to plenty of plants, we bought several heads of lettuce from Meadow’s Mirth, beautiful organic baby spinach from New Roots Farm, perfectly sized tender radishes from Back River Farm, several bunches of brilliant swiss chard from Wake Robin Farm, ground beef raised with no chemicals from Outlaw Farm, and bratwurst and country-style spare ribs from Kellie Brook Farm.
Next week (May 31) there will again be plenty of plants (vegetables, perennial and annual flowers, landscaping, and herbs, all locally grown), lettuce, swiss chard, bok choy, salad mix, scallions, green garlic, spinach, radishes, and other good fresh spring foods!
