And now for a Market Message from Tom!

This week sure was a scorcher, I hope all of you out there handled it well. The test gardens held up just fine though I had to break out the impact sprinklers to manage the dry weather. I have an assortment at the market but the Tomato sale is winding down folks, so if you've not gotten the goods come on down and get 'em while they last. This also marks the transition into the summer collection so check in and see what surprises are in store for all of you at the market.
