This Week at Bauer’s Market | October 7, 2018

We’re crazy for Crocus!
Enjoying early spring color is as easy as planting bulbs this fall.  Dig, drop, done… it’s that easy!  Make it even easier on yourself and use an auger attached to your drill and you won’t even have to bend or shovel a thing!  Spring blooming bulbs require a period of cold-temperature dormancy to stimulate root growth, so the best time to tuck them into the ground is when temperatures hover between 40°F to 50°F.  Consider planting a drift of color along a path that draws your eye or place bulbs in groupings to provide a focal point within your gardens.  Don’t have sun-filled gardens?  Take a look at last week’s post for details on how to create stunning patio pots filled with spring blooming bulbs.  We have hyacinth, specialty bulbs, daffodils, dozens of varieties of tulips, and bags of mixed bulbs.

Create a Welcoming Entryway…
Bring some fall color to your patio or entryway with pumpkins, gourds, and timeless mums!  You may even want to include corn stalks and a straw bale or two if you have a large area to decorate.  In addition to mums, we have an array of fall blooming plants like ornamental cabbage, millet, flowering kale, ornamental peppers, and more.  Stop in and check out our gigantic hardy mums.  They’re more than 3 feet across and come in multiple colors!  We also have some tri-colored mums also which are pretty spectacular.  

Apples, Apples, Apples 🍎 🍎 🍎
With more than 25 varieties currently available, we’re at peak apple season right now!  Stop in and taste the season with free samples, you might just find a new favorite.  If you like HoneyCrisp, try the Pazazz or Jonastar.  The weather has sure been showing us lately that fall is here… why not take advantage of the cozy feeling the weather is prompting and bake some apple crisp?  Take a look under our Apple tab on the website for new apple recipes.  We post a new apple recipe every week during apple season so check back often!  A complete list of apple varieties currently available can be found here.
