Strawberry Fields Forever

Nature's Candy: Perfectly sweet and delicious.

Glover Park Hardware gets strawberries in this weekend! And let me tell you how crucial they’ll be when it’s rhubarb-pie-making time. Gotta have that sweet with the sour. We also love them in salads with candied pecans or just straight off the vine and into your cereal bowl. Here are some tips on growing them.

Seeds in Store! Grow your own food in 2010

Yes the snow still flies (a LOT), but we’re thinking spring bounty and have stocked up on seeds! We have lots of radish varieties, which are quick and easy to work with and good for kids to see the growing process, according to Jen Ward, Glover Park manager. Also look out for:

• Asian baby leaf lettuce mix
• Peppers and tomatoes
• Frisee

Jen recommends this frisee salad recipe. Yum!
