Spring is off to a slow start but the bulbs I planted last fall are starting to pop up. Tulip leaves and crocus flowers are starting to dot the front yard. So far there is nothing available for sale from Magic Summer Minifarm. However, I have been preparing for the June 1-2 heirloom vegetable and native fruit sale and I have listed the varieties that will be part of the sale below. Depending on the inventory left after the June 1-2 plant sale, I may add a second weekend sale in June. Or I may let it dictate, to some extent, the contents of the garden. Fond du Lac Reservation is starting a monthly farmers' market this year in July. Look for Magic Summer Minifarm produce there (more details to come).
