Veggie goodies/strawberries at Petaluma Bounty today, strawberry workshop, strawberry crowns available, egg membership

Hi all,

 

Petaluma Bounty is open today 3 – 6pm and overflowing with fantastic goodies like:

salad mix, arugula, baby bok choy, tomatoes, beets, carrots, squash, eggplant, sweet peppers, onions, melons, strawberries, raspberries, kale, chard, and flowers!  Pictures on their website at www.petalumabounty.org or on  Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/#!/petalumabounty  Gorgeous stuff!!

This may be their last week for strawberries!  Stop by and grab some while you can.

Speaking of strawberries…..

Bounty will transplant 1000 crowns again this season! Yeah – the same Chandler variety I always grew and…. I’ll be there this Sunday teaching a  “Success with Strawberries” workshop from 9 - 11.  Cost is $35 to attend with $10 going to support the Bounty Farm and 5 strawberry crowns for you! Check out the details and register on my website at www.carstensenfarms.net.

Speaking of strawberry crowns…..

If you missed out OR found out you would like a few more crowns to fill out your garden, I still have a limited amount available.  Order what you need and email me for pickup instructions.  They will all be gone by next Sunday so jump on it if you want them J

Egg Family Membership

My batch of new hens will start laying within the next month giving me room to welcome more families to the egg membership.  The membership is full right now but I would love to add you to the wait list.  My hens are cage free, pastured and spoiled.  Just like strawberries, fresh, pasture raised eggs have a wonderful flavor all their own.  Interested??? Drop me an email and I’ll fill you in on the details.

And….. I just put in 400 strawberry plants to supply my egg membership.  My egg family gets their own self-serve, private farmers market!  Strawberries, asparagus, blueberries, apples, ….. whatever I grow and harvest here.

 

Cheers!

Strawberry Growing Workshop at Petaluma Bounty

Hi all,

 

Sunday, September 25^th will be my first ever workshop at Petaluma Bounty.  The farm has 1000 plants to get in the ground and the perfect classroom for hands on learning!  You’ll work with me in the garden as I “show” you how to properly transplant the crowns and teach you how to coax the most delicious strawberries from your own plants.  I will have a sheet detailing the process for all participants, no need to remember it all!  Get all your questions answered and take a peek at last year’s plants and root systems in the Bounty gardens (how did they do??)

 

The cost of the class is $35.  $10 will be donated to Petaluma Bounty AND you will receive 5 strawberry crowns.  Preregister on my website www.carstensenfarms.net by Thursday, September 22^nd.  Space is limited so please register early.

 

Petaluma Bounty is a wonderful organization and I’m happy to help any way I can.  Please pass this information on to any gardening soul who would love to learn how to grow their own delicious strawberries with me.
