Lisianthus is in bloom!

Lorrie is all smiles! She has endeavored for years(!) to grow lisianthus, and always without success. Until this year! She now has 5 plants, all with numerous blossoms - blue, ivory and pink! And she is in her glory! The stems are only about 6-7" long so she hesitates to cut them, but wants to encourage additional blooming. What to do, O, what to do???

If you see me sprouting a bloom on my lapel, you'll know it's a "lisi". And if you see Lorrie smiling, you'll know why.

ONION HARVEST

Our onions are being harvested. We have two kinds this year: Prince (a yellow sweet onion that is an excellent storage onion) and Red Bull (a red onion, also an excellent keeper). As you can see from the photo, the Prince is HUGE! Most are the size of softballs! And the Red Bull is no slouch, either: they are just as large as the Prince.

And we have a lot of 'em.  See us at the Ludington Market on Friday, or at Pentwater on Monday's and Thursday's.

SWEET CORN HARVEST

We picked 3 bushel of sweet corn (Bodacious) and froze it for winter eating today!
Mmmmmm....good!! There is nothing like ORGANICALLY grown sweet corn: it's good and good for you, too!

Banana Potato's

No, they don't look like banana's....and, no, they don't taste like banana's. But they are sweet, just like banana's!
This is the first year we've grown these wonderful tubers. They steam up quickly and are a delicious addition to your summer supper meals. Excellent grilled, too!

You can get them at the Pentwater Market (Monday's or Thursday's) or the Ludington Market (Friday's) or at our Roadside Stand.
