Yes we will have plenty of blooms at this weekend’s market (August 15) Dorey Farmers Market, Inc. but we will ALSO be bringing my favorite peppers! I fell in love last summer with First met him on a pizza special at my favorite pizzeria Then I started buying them from one of my favorite local growers at the tent next to ours at Dorey Started my own plants this spring and have been harvesting and eating them but I can’t eat ALL of them so look for some amongst our flower bouquets this week. They are the best roasting, sautéing, pickling peppers I have ever eaten. I just know when you try them you will fall in love too!

Can’t decide which of these two are my favorite of the week!?

Most of my bouquet beauty shots are bathed in natural sunlight with light backgrounds. I absolutely love the very dramatic dark background photo treatment that one of my home subscribers (thank you Tricia Pearsall) used in these two shots. The first photo is of today’s arrangement. The second photo was taken in April …viburnum accompanied by bleeding hearts and iris. So beautiful.

I love cheese toast! This morning I broiled a delicious one for breakfast. Feta and cheddar atop a .grains classic sourdough English Muffin. If you have not tried Jeanette’s bakery items yet, you are missing out. She sells out fast because they are so good. She is every other Saturday.

Despite the intense heat and the lingering wildfire smoke, this morning’s market was fantastic! Sold every stem that I cut this week. We enjoy all of our customers especially our SuperFans like Zach Reinhardt. Zach works at the market’s very popular booth (yes they have a misting fan and walking talking sunshine)! He and his girlfriend regularly purchase bouquets from us to decorate several rooms in their home. Just about every week. They love how long our flowers stay fresh! That’s because I condition them overnight in a cool room and always stir in just a bit of sugar to feed the flowers. Today he took home this monochromatic arrangement in white (with very aromatic phlox buds, Shasta Daisies, hydrangea, and yarrow). He also doubled up with two very colorful zinnia/celosia bouquets.
