Early Summer Plant Sale
If you've been looking to spruce up your place with something green, we sadly can't give you money. But we can give you a plant sale. Kale & Chard should work just as well.

The Hayes Valley Farm [450 Laguna] is holding its second seasonal plant sale today from 12-5pm. Some of you might be thinking "what could I possibly grow in a city where it's cold & foggy on one block and sunny three blocks down?" The Farm has already taken that into consideration. This sale will feature crops made for our micro climates and you'll have the chance to ask questions to their gardening experts. What kind of crops are good for San Francisco and will be available? According to the Hayes Valley Farm, "broccoli, chard, kale, lettuce... arugula, beans, brussels sprouts, clary sage, endive, eggplant, peppers, summer squash, tomatillos, and tomatoes." If you get something this weekend and plant it soon, you could be enjoying a bowl of eggplant soup by the end of this summer. And yes, we'd love to try it in September. We'll keep our calendar open.
