Don't let the reddish flowers fool you - this plant found throughout the summer is actually a weed!

This weed goes by many names:

Rumex acetosella, sheep's sorrel, red sorrel, sour weed, and field sorrel.

No matter what name you go by, with a spreading rootstock this weed is invasive.

Look for the arrowhead-shaped leaves with small reddish flowers

that produce lots of seed that can easily overtake your garden.

This stubborn weed can be controlled by taking these proper measures...

Safe Propane Tank Usage

Warmer temperatures bring more of us outdoors.  Grilling, relaxing in the lawn with a fire pit,

using a propane-fueled mosquito repellent.  Propane, while flammable, is safe to use as long

as all the necessary safety devices are attached.  Stay safe and healthy while enjoying

your propane-fueled equipment by following these simple guidelines....

Healthy, vigorous vegetable plants produce the most flavorful and bountiful harvests...

Give your garden plants the moisture and nutrients they need,

keep them weeded and harvest often for tasty, nutritous crops.

Paul Rogers visits Klem's

Paul Rogers visited Klem's on Saturday June 4th, 2011. Klem's gave away over 1,000 tomato plants and had a great kick off to the Farmer's Market. Our farmer's market runs every Saturday 9am-1pm through October 22nd. We have a great video of Paul explaining the difference between several popular varieties of tomato plants. We have posted on YouTube, and will add the link here. We also have some great pictures from the farmer's market on Flickr. My favorite finds from this week? Linabella's Pesto is one of my all time favorites. Pesto burgers, pesto on homemade pizza, or on grilled tuna. Also found a vendor with fresh sprouts! Cups of seeds or sprouted ready to eat sprouts are only $1.00! Love them, and they are so great fresh! Hope to see you this Saturday at the market! http://www.flickr.com/photos/klemsonline
