SUMMER IS BEGINNING TO BLOOM AT OUR COUNTRY MARKET!!!!!

 Spring has sprung and Summer is slipping silently around the corner.  This is abundantly clear at our local Farmer's Market, Josmar Acres.

There is a wonderful selection of Perrenials and Annuals to choose from.  Piles of colour for your eyes to enjoy.

Gorgeous greens too.  Lovely hanging baskets spilling over with every shade of green plant you can imagine.  I particularly like their Boston Ferns.  I buy several every Season for our front porch, they are the fullest most luscious ferns I have ever seen.

They make the most wonderful hanging baskets and urns.  Bursting of colour and assorted plants.

And let's not forget the inside.  Lovely tender Asparagus, plump juicy Strawberries ( I scooped up 2 boxes of the 12 first picked ones....they were delicious, I ate half before I even got home.)  Honey, Eggs, Cheeses, everything you can imagine a Country Farmer's Market to be.

If you are ever in Lynden, Ontario you must stop by.  They are at Lynden and Powerline Road and they are open all year, it is well worth the trip.

MY HIPPIE HEART STILL SINGS!!

OH THE BLISS OF THE SUN!!!!!!!

 The weather was beautiful here on the farm last week.  I look forward every year to the first day I can sit outside with a cup of coffee and read my British Country Living....just heaven.

I planted my porch Herb Garden.  Everything is coming along great.  My pots have seen the worse for wear so I picked up these pretty yellow and red ones at HomeSense I love the pressed medallions.

My heirloom tomatoes are very slow and some did not germinate but I am crossing my fingers that the 28 that are left are hardy.  I am planting a lot of veggies this year.  I will show you my bathtub full of spinach and lettuce as it grow.  If I could put dirt in it I am growing veggies in it.

I got this fountain out of someones garbage!  It has been mended but it works perfectly.  I adore this sign another thrift shop find.  Our newest addition, Alley, is still a bit camera shy but she is really happy here.

My newest little passion is for tin cups.  I found these by The Thoughtful Gardener at HomeSense.  They were only $5.99 each and on the British website they are almost $12.00 each plus shipping.  I just love them for the garden, no fear of breaking.

It is so wonderful to see everything budding and green.  I hope the summer is warm and welcoming.  We had this lovely weather last week this week it is kind of cool.  Oh well at least it is not snow.
