Harvest Basket List and Store Specials for 3-30-21
Good afternoon,
Sorry for the delay in creating this list. It has been one of those days.
The heat has brought on the frenzy of crazy at the farm and s$3.75 tore. It is funny how the heat is making everything and everyone want to go faster. Yes, everything is about timing, but the faster we go, the faster we tire out. Instead, we should be taking it in a good straide and everything in moderation. Remember, just because it is 80, today, next week we are barely going to be in the 60 degree day time highs and check out the lows. So, in this reminder, fruit comes to those who wait and who read the soil.
I am so appreciative to all the growers who have been suppling Nature's Touch Nursery and Harvest for all of these years and with out them and all of us doing this together, we would not have the food choices we do today.
