Edible Flowers and spray free bouquets
They change with the season, but we are lucky to have edible flowers from two of our growers. The flowers from Garden Party and Nith Valley are all safe to eat whether you make them into tea or add them to a salad. The lovely bouquets from Garden Party are not sprayed, so you can enjoy them in your home!

Strawberry sizes
I'm re-posting from previous years as the sizing on berries and cherries is always so confusing.
- A pint is half a quart (12 pints = 6 quarts = 1 flat)
- A dry quart is a bit smaller than a litre (2 pints = 1 quart = 1.1 Litres) according to http://www.metric-conversions.org/volume/us-dry-quarts-to-liters.htm
- Dry quarts and liquid quarts measure differently
- We've been calling the darker green, more sturdy looking plastic baskets with rounded corners litres, but they are quarts and you are getting 1.1 Litre or product, the paper boxes are pints and there are also smaller paper bakets which are half pints
- Farmers are generous and tend to top up whatever container they are using.
And one other thing - Why isn't there a big discount for buying a flat? Well... it takes a while to fill up one pint and twelve times as long to fill the whole flat (of 12 pints). We let the farmers decide the prices that pay them for the work they do!

Lettuce and Strawberries!
We finally have local organic strawberries for you! You can buy them by the pint or by the litre (1 litre = approximately 2 pints) and we have flats of 12 pints or of 6 litres available.
This
is the best time of year for salad! Lettuce leaves are crisp and won't
be as plentiful in the heat of summer. If you need a salad idea, check
out Jon's recipe on our blog,
We have lots of lettuce including a new type to us called mini romaine.
It will hold up to a nice creamy dressing. Maryrose had it last night
with a home made vinaigrette. Delish!
