Today at the 326 Community Market: Japanese Persimmons! Water Chestnuts! Goji Berries!
Let's see what I have today at the 326 Community Market...
Goji Berries
I finally got 'em again. Small goji berries are $5.00 a pot... pick up a few and discover this weirdly flavored lycopene-loaded superfruit.
Mulberries
I found two more Dwarf Everbearing Mulberries - come and get 'em.
Chinese Water Chestnuts
Now this is a GREAT edible:

Chinese water chestnuts like old bathtubs. So do mosquitoes. I added mosquito fish to the tub - problem solved! |
Japanese Persimmons
Simply one of the best fruit trees for this area. Sweet, luscious, non-astringent fruit... and my price of $29 per tree is really hard to beat. I mean... look at this beautiful tree:

The 326 Community Market runs every Thursday from 3 - 7PM and is really easy to find.
Google map is here. Their Facebook page is here (with lots more photos and info):
My prices are good and my gardening advice is free.
Beyond what I carry, there are also folks selling melt-in-your-mouth Florida peaches, goat milk cheese and soap, handcrafts, recycled pallet wood furniture, fresh lemonade, chickens, delicious ice cream (from actual hand-milked cows), crafts, vegetables, baked goods, homemade jams and jellies (really good), local raw honey, ornamental plants, homemade birdhouses and more.
It's a great group of people and very friendly... the way a local market should be.
Come on down!

How many goji berry plants do you have? Do you known exactly what they are? Are they a cultivar?
You interested in coming up to Gainesville in August to talk about permaculture?
You say you added "mosquito fish" to the water chestnut tub... is this the critter?
I have about a dozen goji berries. Not sure of the cultivar, though the original stock came from plants already thriving and fruiting heavily in N/C Florida.
And yes - I'd love to come up.
You got it.
