A Sure Sign of Spring — Farmer’s Market!

This Saturday, May 7th, the 2011 Kootenai County Farmer’s Market season opens!  Come rain (probably) or shine (hopefully) the vendors will be there with a fantastic assortment of flower, herb and veg plants, fun art, yummy eats and great music! 

The Saturday market is located at the corner of Hwy 95 and Prairie Ave., and runs from 9 am to 1:30 pm.  A Wednesday market is held in downtown Coeur d’Alene at Sherman Ave. and 5th, from 4 to 7 pm.

We never miss “opening day” and this year is no exception. Even though I have 50+ of my own tomato starts (and could be a vendor!!), I will be searching out a Sun Gold Cherry, Juliet, and a Black Prince.  Two of my favorite vendors are Killarney Farms from Cataldo, ID (nice variety of tomato plants and greens) and the Idaho Tomato Lady / Mountain View Farm, from Hayden, ID. 

If you go and succumb to the temptation of purchasing tender annuals (like tomatoes, peppers, basil) make sure you keep them in the garage or sheltered area.  It’s still too chilly to put them in the ground!  Last average day of frost is May 15 for this area.  I usually try to get my tomatoes in by the May 20th – but let Mother Nature (and your soil’s temperature) be your guide.

Here’s to Farmers’ Markets, joy they bring to welcome Spring!

Leeks are transplanted! YAY!! This is a very time-consuming task, one thread-like leek plant into one cell of a 6 pack x 288 -- but I got 'er done. Two varieties this year: Autumn Giant, a beautiful, large, late-season leek (can over-winter if well mulched), and King Richard, an early season leek (75 days) and cold-hard to 20 degrees. Hard to imaging these wispy seedling will grow into thick, flavorful stalks -- oh, but they will! Want some for you garden?
