Vermont Home Gardener
A reminder of what you can be doing this week.
Weekly To Do List (4/17- 4/24)

  • Apply compost to raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, & perennial shrubs.
  • Apply lime to lawns if your soil test indicated acidic conditions (pH below 6.0). Do not apply fertilizer to lawns in the spring.
  • Sow early salad greens outdoors. (kale, spinach, mesclun, arugula, etc.)
  • Do not remove old leaves from garden beds yet. Native pollinators & beneficial insects are still maturing there.
  • Start tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, early lettuce indoors.

If you missed these last week...

  • Prune: raspberries, blackberries, fruit trees, hydrangeas.

     -Do NOT prune forsythia, rhododendrons, lilacs, azaleas!

  • Spray dormant oil on fruit trees.
  • Do not apply mulch yet, let the soil warm first.

Happy Friday! Welcome to the weekend — we're so glad you're here!

A Sweet Season, Wrapped Up with Love! Our maple season came to a close last Sunday, and what a ending it was — family, food, fun, and of course our delicious wood-fired maple syrup flowing until the very last drop. We couldn't have asked for a better finish.

Spring is in Full Swing on the Farm! The grass is greening up, the fields are coming alive, and there is no shortage of things to do around here! Equipment maintenance, fence repairs, and getting ready for our very first batch of chicks are keeping us busy.

Mulch Hay Available! Gearing up for your spring garden? We've got mulch hay bales ready and waiting for you. Just stop by the farm and we'll help you — your garden will thank you!

Farm Fresh Eggs — Fully Stocked! Our laying hens are absolute rock stars right now! We have farm fresh eggs in full supply and they are not just for breakfast. Think deviled eggs for your next gathering, a beautiful quiche, or all your spring baking needs. Come grab a dozen — or two!

Baked Goods That Won't Last Long! This weekend we've got freshly baked bread from 3 Bears Bakery — and here's a heads up — grab it this weekend because they're heading out on a 2 week break starting next week! And the treats from Stevens Farm? Oh my. Just trust us and grab some while you can. You will not be disappointed!

Grill Season is Calling! The warm weather has us fired up — literally! It's the perfect weekend to fire up the grill and we've got everything you need. Try our ground beef for burgers, grab a few steaks, or go with some pork chops. Whatever you're grilling, we've got you covered!

Come See Us This Weekend! We're open today through Sunday, 12:00–5:00 at 1966 Healdville Road in Mount Holly. We can't wait to see your smiling face — stop in and say hello!
