Peaches
I've got a few peach trees back in stock. $20 each!
Olives
I picked up some olive trees this week - come on down and get your own Arbequina olive and plan on some tasty Mediterranean dishes.
Hot Peppers
I started a bunch of peppers in the greenhouse. I have jalepeno and cayenne right now, with paprika and red habeneros on the way. Mmm.
Goji Berries
I still have some. Small goji berries are $4.00 a pot... pick up a few and discover this weirdly flavored lycopene-loaded superfruit.
Mulberries
SOLD OUT!
Chinese Water Chestnuts
Do you have a pond? A swampy spot? A kiddie pool? Chinese water chestnuts are a delicious root crop that loves the heat and will produce abundantly. It's also perennial! I figured out how to package them up for sale (regular pots don't work) and I'll have some with me today - give 'em a try!
Chestnuts
I was able to get a few more. They're $40 a pot and they're one of the best nut trees you can grow in North/Central Florida!
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'll also have some various bananas, plus other tasty fruits.
Visit the 326 Market in Ocala today and pick up a few plants. There's a lot going on in the nursery and I'm finding more rare edibles each week.
Some of my other wonderful selections include:
BLUEBERRIES: (Not ready)
APPLES (Anna, Dorsett, Tropic Sweet): $20.00
GINGERS (Various)
PEARS: $20.00
CHAYA: $5.00
PAWPAW TREES: SOLD OUT!!!
PECANS: SOLD OUT!!!
BABY COFFEE TREES: $6.00
POMEGRANATES (Various): $20.00

Coming soon: herbs, moringa, katuk, edible-leaf hibiscus, Suriname spinach.
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!
