Pretty self explanatory
The annual GRIS Iris Sale - this time held at a farm/ garden store a town of.
I went in at the crack of nine to help Neil get set up, there are still things that he is not allowed to do. Lift and pull being two of them
A little bit of a rainy morning all around, but cleared by the afternoon
A happy Neil
I was told they got pretty busy in as the day rolled on. The garden shop just could not have been easier to Neil's club. Free space, extra tables, etc...
They have these long tables of growing strawberries there in the front of the place. I do not know if they are " pick your own " of if they only have them to sell in their market. There is just close to nothing better than a sun warmed just picked strawberry. One odd thing is though you have to eat them right when you get them - or else they go a bit wonky.
A non summer grocery store berry , a Driscols, will last for a week to ten days - you have to wonder what is done to the giant hollow berries to make them last so long. I really try and not buy them , other than if , like a roma tomato, just need something red on the plate.
These peaches are supposedly somewhat local, but it is a bit early for Lake Ontario peaches, so I bet these came from Pennsylvania or somewhere close. The blast of peach smell when you walked into this place was just overwhelming, so I just had to have them. We did not eat them tonight , but will report back tomorrow.
I almost bought this cat pot.
