Please note that we will not be meeting as a group this is just an FYI if you would like to get some great heirloom vegetables and plants. The Green Marketplace in Cocoa will be holding their fall heirloom vegetable plant sale starting Friday, September 4th and ending Tuesday, September 15th. From their newsletter:
"Shop early for the best selection – when they’re gone, they’re gone! If you read about the plants that we will
have for sale and do your research now, you’ll know which kinds of plants you want and how many before
you come to the marketplace which will make your trip that much simpler!
Individual tomato plants, pepper plants and 4 packs of vegetables other than tomatoes are all $2.00 each.
NEW! This fall we will be offering a small number of 4-packs of tomato plants for those of you wanting
quantity. They will be smaller plants but will sell for $4.00 ($1 per plant). If this is something in demand,
we will offer more next fall." We will be there bright and early so we can get our veggies home before heading over to the Plant Freecycle event at Ethos at 2pm. Vegetable Plants Examples
• Sweet Peppers (Buran, Quadratto Asti Giallo, Golden Treasure, Jimmy Nardelo Italian, Purple
Beauty, Sweet Chocolate)
• Hot Peppers (TAM Jalepeno, Hungarian Hot Wax, Beaver Dam, Datil)
• Beans (Kentucy blue lake bush, royal burgundy, dragon’s tongue)
• Grey zucchini
• Golden summer squash
• Marketmore 67 cucumber
• Mixed leaf lettuce
• Arugula
• Herbs and more!
