Heads-up, Toadshade has two more events this week!

On Thursday, May 21, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, Toadshade will be selling plants at Odd Bird Brewing (10 Risler Street Stockton NJ United States 08559)--we'll be there with several vendors from the Hunterdon Community Farmer's Market and the folks from Odd Bird themselves (don't forget to stop in for a drink!!) and we hope to see you there for a nice, relaxing community evening the day after this hot weather breaks (and won't THAT be a relief)!

And on Sunday, May 24th, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, Toadshade will once again be back selling plants and seeds at the Hunterdon Community Farmers Market at the Hunterdon Land Trust Headquarters property, the old Dvoor Farm on the Route 12 Circle in Flemington, NJ (111 Mine Street, Flemington NJ 08822). Pre-orders are welcome, as always, until Thursday at 5:00 pm, to give us time to get everyone's orders prepared for the market. We hope to see you there!

Ever wonder about the relationship between snow and wildflower seeds? Or when exactly cold stratification takes place outdoors? The answer might not be what you expect, so check it out in our latest blog!

When cold weather hits (we went down to -5.8 F on Tuesday night), it's actually very good for plants to have a nice warm snow blanket helping to insulate their roots and keep them from drying out in the cold winter air. Based on this weekend's forecast, none of us are done with the cold weather OR the snow, but at least the plants are happy out there!
