Despite the snow there are early sign’s of spring at the market. In addition to the lovely spinach and greens we’ve had, this week marks the return of garlic stems and scallions! And it is the perfect time to begin planning your garden. Local expert, John Mishanec will be talking tomatoes.
Parking note: with the Jay Street construction the parking garage on Broadway is a good choice for the next few weeks.
