From an email:
We are reopening Saturday at 9, brimming with 8 varieties of strawberries and lots of asparagus, both purple and green. My personal favorite variety is Earliglow, a small, sweet berry with a wonderful flavor that reminds me of French wild strawberries. You won’t find it in any supermarkets because it has a great flavor but a short shelf life. It is the reason you go to farmers markets to find strawberries like this. It has a short season so it won’t be around more than two or three weeks. Truck Patch has it this week. And for once we will have rhubarb when strawberries are plentiful.
Other NEW delights: McCleaf is pressing single variety Fuji apple juice. They also have English walnuts,
Truck Patch has decided that Turkeys should not be limited to November feasts and are raising them right now for ground turkey and bonesless breasts that make great sandwiches. Just roast a breast in the oven and you have sandwich meat all week.
We are proud to be hosting the DC State Fair’s seedling swap of veggie starters on Saturday. (You come with a tomato seedling and swap for an eggplant) Lots of good advice from urban gardeners —

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
