This heat is brutal but the flowers on Salem Square are still providing beauty to the area. They look forward to their water and fertilizing. The pollinators are enjoying them. Hope Washington County is too.

Unfortunately we had to change our original date for visiting B & C Farms due to weather conditions. Last night was worth the wait. The weather and beautiful skies allowed us to tour the farm and enjoy the flowers and vegetables. We all really enjoyed the evening and visiting with this delightful family.

Congratulations to the winners of a basket planter and mini greenhouse from the Washington County Farmer’s Market on the Bricks last night!

Pictured is raffle winner Karen with the beautiful vintage basket with two lovely plants! Enjoy!

Unfortunately, I didn’t think about it in time to get a photo with the winner of our mini greenhouse, Elizabeth. We can’t wait to see what you grow!

Congratulations to both of you!

Checking on the large flower planters on Salem Square. In spite of Indiana heat and major road construction, they continue to bloom and send cheer.
