It's not yet April, but we're getting a gentle spring shower as I write. I'm happy, even though cloudy dark weather makes me feel like fungus most times. I'm happy because lawns will be perking up, especially after the poor man's nitrogen we got in the big snow a while back.
More importantly, the farmers and gardeners will be in better shape this year than the dry spring last year. I'm looking forward to the first day of Foothills Farmers Market this year: April 25th, on Court Square. I'm a strong supporter of shopping local, and that is definitely true when it comes to vegetables, greens and fruit. And don't forget eggs and meat!
It's going to be the same day as the Art On The Square festival sponsored by Buffalo Creek Gallery and Uptown Shelby, not to mention the Merry Go Round Festival at City Park. I hope everyone is going to be out enjoying spring and all the activity.
Since I will be out working with Art On The Square I'll be up early enough on that Saturday to get an early selection at Foothills Farmers Market. There might some tomato plants for pots and it will be good to have fresh eggs again! And I hope everyone comes out to see the opening and our new logo for the Foothills Farmers Market. I just got two designs from our helper and comes down to either a Red Belly Tractor or a vintage red pickup, both with vegetables and flowers. Nice choice!!!
