5 Months
Briefly describe your job duties at Pahl’s:
I work at the service desk. My duties include answering phones, checking customers out, making the schedule for the next day, assisting customers with questions or concerns, stocking shelves and produce, and organizing the market. I also make popcorn.
August is the month to sit in the shade with a glass of ice tea and observe the mature garden you have brought to life again this year. Gardens are amazing as they change and grow all summer.
A few of my favorite long blooming perennials are now in full swing. Rudbeckia Goldstrum (black-eyed susan) is going strong as well as all the beautiful garden phlox. At Pahl’s, we especially like the flame series garden phlox. They grow to be 14 inches in height and are very resistant to powdery mildew. These are beautiful plants that bloom for 6 to 8 weeks every summer.
Isn’t it great to be living in the “Land of 10,000 Cobs”? August is one of the best months at Pahl’s Market. We are finally able to offer our delicious sweet corn to you. These first few varieties have been very tasty. Making it even better is our corn drive thru! If you are pressed for time and just want that dozen to take home for dinner, nothing is sweeter than our drive thru. But may I suggest you park and check out all the fresh homegrown produce that is filling our market. Juicy tomatoes, snappy green beans, crisp cucumbers, fabulous cabbage and more are waiting for you. We are also harvesting our beautiful green peppers! Potatoes, onions, garlic, and fresh fruits like watermelon, grapes, plums, peaches, lemons and limes can be found in our cooler and on our shelves.
So, I made the mistake of asking a 5th generation vegetable farmer if the newsletter article was ready. I kind of got the impression he was a bit too busy with other things. No matter, we all agree that we would rather have delicious produce harvested at the peak of freshness than a farm article. Stay tuned for next months news from the field!
Wildlife gardening suits the lazy gardener, as untidiness is often to the benefit of wildlife; long grass left over winter feeds birds and shelters insects, and unpruned shrubs provide good nesting and roosting sites. Ideally, a wildlife garden should be managed to provide balance between being decorative and offering good habitat diversity. It is important that native tree, shrub and wildflower species are predominate in wildlife-oriented gardens.
