Christmas Pointsettia Trip!

It was off to Janoski's Farm & Greenhouse today for our pointsettias. You just can't beat a warm greenhouse full of blooms when there's snow on the ground. Not the record 2 feet or more that blanketed the east coast, but enough to bring out the Christmas spirit! The big wreaths along the building on the left are "BOGO's @ $40. VERY TEMPTING if you've still got a space that can handle a couple of big wreaths. Some of the smaller pointsettias were also bogo's. There are still some of the "Christmas Rose" and the more burgundy colored varieties available, along with the usual red, pink, & white plants.
Don't forget the home grown produce. The sign for the potatoes was buried by the snow plows, but they have a really good deal on them too!

Somerset County Farmers' Market Celebrates!

The Somerset County Farmers' Market celebrated a successful 4th year at their annual dinner. Eight "friends" of the market were recognized. This article in the Daily American popped up in a "Google Alert". It's gratifying to see the documented growth of the market from the weekly vendor receipt tallies. Good luck in year five!
