I am sure that we can safely set out our plants and the weather will cooperate with us for a hardy season. I want to encourage you to stop by the Clarksburg Farmers Market to shop for your plants. The Market is held every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot by Tractor Supply.
By shopping there you are supporting local farmers and vendors. Right now they have flowers and vegetable plants. As the season progresses, they will have fresh fruit and vegetables.
If you cannot shop on Saturday morning you will be able to find vegetable and flower plants at local stores such as Lowe’s and Home Depot or at many of our grocery stores.
