Hattie’s Garden is open on Wednesday, August 10 and Thursday, August 11 from 10 to 4 for the sale of specialty cut-flowers, produce, meat, eggs, cheese, and fish. We will also be at the Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) located at the George H.P. Smith Park on Saturday from 8 to 12.

Although the heat continues, Hattie’s Garden has begun to plant for our busy fall season. This week and the next, we will do our best to seed, protect and water our new beds of carrots, turnips, radishes, beets, kale and more lettuce and arugula.

As we wait for those things to grow, we have increased our microgreen production. This week look for arugula and mixed microgreens. By late-August the choices will grow. Let us know what your favorite microgreens are so we can grow them for you.

Finally, the harvest of our ginger is not far off. It is growing very well this summer and we will begin small harvests of fresh young ginger at the end of August.
