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 —

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
