Salad, microgreens, sprouts, etc.
Several of you have been on board with me delivering your
various greens to you in non-plastic bag-like
containers. I bought many glass
bowls with tight fitting lids when they were on sale at CTC and we’ve been exchanging
one for the other for a couple of weeks. If you would like to play a part in reducing
plastic bag usage, I think Day Brighteners is a small enough business that I can deliver product to you in your own
containers. If you provide me with a
re-usable container or two or three or four, I can fill it or them with what
you order. Let’s say you always order
sunflower shoots, you can keep me supplied with your own container large enough
for the shoots, I’ll bring them to you in that container in exchange for a new
clean empty one. This can be done with most
things you order.
Lucky for Local
At the North Grenville Summit 2018 a couple of weekends ago
Jim Beverage spoke in detail about how he has spent many years keeping true to
local producers and basically fighting the system which tells him where to buy his
grocery store supplies. I am somewhat embarrassed
to say, although I’ve lived here for 27 years, I hadn’t met Jim until a month
or so ago at another event at the College Campus to do with supplying local food
to the community. We started a
conversation that day and continued it at the Summit.
I’m very pleased to say Jim is now selling my product at his
B&H Your Community Grocer’s
Store in Kemptville. Along with Heather’s Healthy Harvest, Healthily Ever After,
Yellow Canoe Café, Little Sisterz and Arlington
Five I’m thrilled to be able to grow for all of these wonderful
establishments.
I’m also very grateful for those of you who have been
ordering from me for about eight years and those new people who have jumped in recently. I’m looking forward to meeting even more
people interested in better health through eating local, organically grown food
at the North Grenville Sustainability
Fair this Sunday April 22.
This past weekend’s lovely dump of snow, sleet, rain, ice
pellets and wind kept me indoors which in turn prompted me to spend many, many
hours updating my Garden Planner.
Jennie
and I, when we’re not watering, harvesting and starting new microgreens and
sprouts, have been starting new greens, herbs, flowers and up-potting trays
upon trays of tomato, eggplant and pepper plants. We’re hoping to push some peas into the soil
and transplant some rapini and broccoli next week. Yes I said “hoping”. Who really knows these days. I envision the weather will turn nice one
day, every single plant will be beyond ready for transplanting and Jennie and I
will be out there from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for several days desperately
trying to get everything into the ground all at once – jeesh – better rest
now.
