TEMPTATION

Red Zebra, Green Zebra, Nebraska Wedding, or what about Mrs. Burn’s Lemon, Amethyst, or Christmas and don’t forget Wisconsin Lakes, Napoleon, or Fish!

What are they?  Tomatoes, Basil, and Peppers.  In other words, your own fresh salsa, Jalapeno Jelly, or your favorite pasta  with fresh basil and tomatoes!  I'm hungry what about you?

2010 Red Zebra, Jalapeno, Lemon Thyme, Sweet Basil

We will have extra plants available, after May 15, if you want to grow and harvest your own heirloom tomato or pepper or take cuttings from your own basil. They will be approximately six weeks old, in 4” pots, and ready to be planted. If you don’t have a garden and still want to experience the sweet aroma and taste of fresh cut basil they do well in containers plus they will add color to your patio.  Of course you can always purchase fresh tomatoes and peppers from us in August.

We have 28 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, 16 types of basil, 16 sweet peppers followed by 11 peppers with heat.

Local customers only, sorry we do not ship.

DILIGENCE

Our first sign of color has diligently pushed her gentle bloom toward the light.

Smaller than a new born blade of grass and bluer than the sky the thimbelina size "Siberian Squill" again makes her debut.  Tiny, short lived, and packed with color she and her sisters dot the yard.  Step carefully or you won't see them and an unknowing boot will snuff out their blooms. 

We hope you enjoy the smidge of spring these pretty, petite, blue flowers bring and as winter gently moves past we look forward to spring greens, peas, radishes, scallions, and countless other fresh veg!!!  Ahhhhh.........life is good.

MARCH MADNESS GONE BY

March can be fickle.  Snowy and cold or like last year warm and inviting.

Here at Sol 'N Tyne, on Wells Creek, our March was filled with snow, cloudy days, cold, and an occasional tease of warmth, but mostly we were kept inside planning, prepping, and planting seeds in plugs (The 3 P's). 

Bella helped sort through seed orders, Dani and Col soaked up the warm rays of sunshine, Amber Jo and Daisy Mae took advantage of the snow, Michelle and I exchanged seeds, and Michael played with his 'scientist' kit - testing soil. 

Oh what fun March was!!  Stay tuned for April.
