the season is officially finished, really

November 30, 2008 at 12:09 am · Filed under Harvest Notes, Regina Farmer's Market ·Tagged ,

So we had planned to go to the RFM today, but plans changed. We are now officially finished the season. A few left over squash will be delivered to non-profit agencies this week and the rest goes into storage for our own use. It has been an extra long season, the longest in the history of the farm, but it was great!

We are already faced with the task of going through seed catalogues looking for those perfect varieties to grow next year. There are so many things to choose from and decisions to make, like should we expand our selection of fun coloured veggies, or grow more heirloom tomatoes, or start growing asian veggies?? But first it is time for some much needed rest and relaxation!
cheers

Regina Farmers Market ~ Nov 22nd

November 21, 2008 at 12:04 am · Filed under Harvest Notes, Regina Farmer's Market ·Tagged ,

We will be at the indoor market on November 22nd. From the number of phone calls we have received over the past week we figure that customers are looking for those fall veggies that go nicely with the weather we are having. It is time to make a big pot of squash soup or a yummy potato stew!

Available this week:
Squash
Potatoes (Norland & Russian Blue)
Carrots
Beets
Onions
Cabbage

Hope to see you there!

Last sales day of the season ~ Nov 2

It is here, the last day of sales on the farm. November 2nd is our final day for the year. We thank everyone who made the choice to buy local and shop for your produce at our farm. We look forward to seeing you next year!

Lincoln Gardens will be attending the Regina Farmers Market on Nov 8th. Come down to 13th ave and take advantage of great prices on healthy and delicious fall veggies.

We will be available by appointment if customers are looking for bulk potatoes, carrots, squash or cabbage. Please call before heading out to the farm as we may not be there at all times now that we are closed for the season.

Watch this blog for info about seeding and planting as we get closer to that time. We will post the varieties and planting times so that customers can improve their knowledge about the process of growing vegetables in Saskatchewan. We will be offering for purchase a larger selection of vegetable transplants in the spring as more and more customers are wanting to try their hand at growing their own garden. Let us give you some tips and provide advice from our 3 generations of experience!

As always feel free to contact us with questions or suggestions. We are constantly looking for ways to improve your experience at Lincoln Gardens.

Have a wonderful winter and see you in the Spring!
Wayne & Kim
