Pearl Farmer's Market Opening
Yesterday was the Grand Opening of the Pearl Farmer’s Market with all the booth’s cutting their red ribbons and it was a fantastic day. Lots and lots and lots of people. We did end up closing a little early because of the rain – yippee for the rain! (We ended up getting just under 2 inches here at the ranch.) I sold out of the 4″ Peacock Orchids/Absyyinian Glads and out of my bare root daylilies, Hyperion and Mixed. I will plan to bring extra bare root daylilies next week. Many of the vendors sold out of product early. It was great to see lots of families with small and large kids going through the market, and several of the kids were already gardeners buying different small plants.
Next week, Marty will be manning the booth at the Pearl Farmer’s Market, since I will be giving the daylily seminar at the Festival of Flowers (10:30 am at the Alzafar Auditorium on 1604). Please be kind to Marty, he is just getting into the knowledge base of gardening. He will have orders ready for pickup for people who have ordered through our website for ”Pearl Brewery” shipping/pick up. If you have a special request of a daylily or bearded iris for us to bring to the market, just send me an e-mail at jonelle@jd2ranch.com and we will see that we bring it with us that next Saturday.
