 We strive to keep this list as accurate as possible. We probably  missed an item or two that is at the market or listed an item as available when it is not.  Please use this as a general guide to what's at the market this week.

As we stated, the word from Gary Heck is that he'll have strawberries this Saturday, June 6. That means the supply will begin increasing quite rapidly as we enter prime strawberry season. It will be interesting this year to see how it pans out, because some farmers have reported their crop is at least a month behind schedule. Depending on the weather, maybe that means we'll have a longer season? ... or not.

Another herb that is making its appearance will be hoop house basil. You'll also find plenty available to get into the ground for your family garden, coming in a number of varieties. J's Veggie Patch had a great assortment of it at last week's market.

The spring garlic is getting pretty big, so that will probably be fading, if it hasn't already by this week's market. Lettuces are doing great as is the sorrel, arugula, and savoy.

A question we came across last week: When does it make sense to plant from seeds and when from transplants? Like most everything in the garden ... that depends. Brad Wilson of Cabin Creek Herbs says that while sales of seeds have gone up this year, ostensibly as a money-saving move, he sees a lot of people making choices in this regard that actually cost them more money. Ask him about it. And if you need a second option, well there are plenty of vendors who are happy to give you advice.
