I have had Spring Flowers out. I have been thinking about this in relation to my garden activities and definitely agree. Not only was it harder to get Autumn plants to take, rather than going to seed, but for the last four weeksNow it is official – we have had the warmest first six months of any year.

So stop by and get yourself a treat for only $2 per bunch



Also available from Gladstone Gardens this week are: Herbs

Rainbow Chard

Silver Beet

Baby Spinach

Lettuce

Micro Greens

Pumpkins

Cocktail Tomatoes

Snow Peas

Pepper Pots

Chilli Peppers

STEVE -THE SEAWEED MAN

Plants, like people, need a pick-me-up in the winter so it would be a good opportunity to give them a boost with some seaweed liquid.



A light spray every fortnight will give them a good boost to get through the winter and come through to the summer in healthy condition. Papa Ora Flavours from a Healthy Earth Kate has been busy making this weeks kombucha with our offering this week being the fresh warming citrus flavours of Mandarin and Ginger. We've had to pump up our production this week to cater for all of our keen Kombucha lovers!

Check out what Doctor. A has to say about the health benefits here.. https://draxe.com/7-reasons-drink-kombucha-everyday/ We've got our sweet Feijoa and Date Chutney still in stock for your sammies and crackers, someone even told us it was good on their ice-cream last week!

See you at the Market on Saturday

At Wakelin House

Apart from the vast range of pies available hot or cold on the Wakelin House stall, one of our most popular products is our corn-fed chicken liver pates.



Made from free range, corn fed chicken livers, steeped overnight in brandy and processed with onions, garlic, butter and cream. Available in two flavours, brandy and walnut or green peppercorn.



Both options available for tasting this Saturday. Now that we have your attention..........

If you know anyone who may be interested in having a stall at the Farmers' Market - we would dearly love to hear from them. It's all about trying to provide the sort of things people want and finding those folk who produce those things.



Some of the things we would LOVE to be able to offer are HONEY, PATISSERIE, CHOCOLATIER, SEASONAL FRUITS, GOURMET ICE-CREAM, & maybe CUT FLOWERS (to name but a few).



It doesn't necessarily need to be about food - it costs nothing to enquire - so why not think of turning your hobby into a small business? Email or talk to us for details .
