OPEN for the LAST day of the Summer Season: Sunday, July 6th, 7AM - 3PM (rain or shine)

14489 Bethel Church Lane, Smithfield, VA 23430

Sunday, July 6th will be the LAST day of the summer produce season! We're incredibly thankful for our customers and our wonderful community. Therefore, we're sharing what's left of the end of season bounty. On Sunday, 7AM - 3PM, you may pick anything within the Browder's Bouquet Garden area, greenhouse, or pre-picked under the tent, for FREE. That's any of our cut flowers, plus any vegetables we have remaining. There are some sweet lunchbox peppers (pictured), bell peppers, tomatoes (plenty of green ones; some more ripe than others), and a handful of a few other vegetables too. You may get as much as you'd like! Bring your own scissors, clippers, vases, bags, boxes & buckets. *Harvest all you'd like, but please do not uproot any plants because we'll be using this land for upcoming crops and want to minimize damage to our beds. Bring a friend and enjoy the harvest! 😊

Planting Indian Corn

 Open Daily 7AM - 7PM; Last Day of the Summer Season = Sunday, July 6 

 

We planted two varieties of Indian corn for the Fall.  The orange planter highlighted here is best for planting from seed, especially at relatively close spacing.  The rate at which you can plant is much faster than when using the blue planter we highlighted earlier this week, but it's slightly less likely to deposit exactly one seed per hole.  This orange planter is more nuanced (and more expensive) than the blue planter, but the fact that you can plant several thousand seed in a jiffy is worth it.  The way it works is there is a plate that accepts one seed (ideally) and rotates around to deposit the seed through these little silver "beaks," which penetrate the soil at the appropriate depth. We used this orange planter when we planted sunflowers & string beans earlier this season.  Looking forward to our corn growing over the next few months. 😊
