We spoke with the man selling sugar cane about getting starts so we could grow our own and he was excited and helpful...he invited us to his farm, gave us directions and told us that in spring time he would bring us cuttings.
Happy Harvest Monday, we are linking up with

cool detail on the farmers mkt. looking forward to the kale thing, had some kale chips at FVB one nite when we had a potluck.
luv
Kale chips how interesting. Do you just toss them in hot oil? Very exciting I am sure to be able to grow sugar cane. I love different things but think that might be a bit of a challenge in my area.
Great harvest guys. I'm really jealous of your farmers market. The farmers markets in our area just shut down from November to June, so if we want something fresh we have to grow it ourselves.
I've never tried kale chips before. Now I am curious! :) I'll have to check them out. Thanks.
