Miss Effie's Country Flowers and Garden Stuff

Winter is moving right along.  In no time, the new orders will be arriving at my doorstep ..... begging to be planted.

Cliff and I continue to think of ways to change the farm and make your experience at Miss Effie's more enjoyable.  The lists are long ....... so many things we would like to do. So little time ........ so little money!!  We all know how that is!!

A couple of quick updates.........

Miss Effie will be at the Davenport Freight House Farmer's Market on Sat. Jan 17 for "Be a Tourist in your own Backyard".  I'll be doing a presentation on local foods and the environmental impact it has.  And to top it off -- a quick cooking demo -- Zuppa Toscano or Italian Potato Soup.  Everything in the soup except the cream will be available at the market.  So remember, our local farmers market is important in January, not just July!!!!

 And I will be a presenter at the University of Illinois Nursery School (Go Illini!!!!) on Feb 28 at the I-Wreless Center in Moline.  Another soup-er demostration (can ya tell I love soup??)  This time, I will teaching some great soups -- tomato, corn chowder and butternut squash soup.  If you make soup by getting your can opener out --- let me change that!!

Life is too short to eat soup from a can!!!

Hope to see you soon.  More up-dates later!
