Happy Friday! We have so much exciting stuff going on this weekend. Tomorrow we'll be at the @roslindalefarmersmarket from 9 to 1:30 with flowers, fresh herbs, and two fancy farm-fresh drinks: tarragon lemonade & mojito mint limeade! On Sunday I (Jenny) will be teaching a class on the medicinal herbs of New England at @thetrustees' Haskell Public Gardens in New Bedford. It'll be a fun and tasty primer of the many healing plants found wild in our fields, forests, lawns, and gardens at one of New Bedford's best kept secrets. We also have a CSA pickup tomorrow at our various sites in and around Boston plus, you know, a bunch of weeding. Hooray for the mad abundance and busyness of September! Hope you can share in some of its abundance with us <3 Thanks to Steph at @frobiescafe for this great picture from one of the markets we did with her last summer. #roslove #bostonfoodies #igersboston #newbedford #medicinalherbs #massgrown #tarragon #mojitomint #flowerpower #muddyriverherbals (at Muddy River Herbals)

Who would've thought that after such a wet spring—much less such a wet WEEK—we'd be seeing soil so dry it's cracking 😭 At least the white sage is feeling right at home in this outrageously hot weather! #sacredplants #whitesage #salviaapiana #massgrown #igersboston #cantonma #medicinalherbs #muddyriverherbals #guessweliveincalinow (at Muddy River Herbals)

2016 was a terrible year. It was pretty dang good to the herbs though, even with the drought that rocked so much of New England. Thank you to EVERYONE in the #muddyriverherbals community (that means you!) for helping to make 2016 our best season yet. Stay tuned 📻: soon we'll be announcing the start of our 2017 CSA registration! Til then, pour yourself a cup and celebrate the good stuff that those last twelve months brought, preferably with David Bowie or a Star Wars movie playing in the background. #medicinalherbs #herbs #farmgram #massgrown #iamamodernfarmer #bye2016 #bestnine

Welcome to the 2016 edition of the #fivedaysofherbstalk, our yearly roundup of some of the plants that we're thrilled to be selling at the best event of the year, @herbstalk! Tonight's feature is the York elderberry (Sambucus canadensis 'York'). These babies have huge root systems and are already spangled with flower buds! Elderberries provide a magic presence in the garden with their gifts of blossoms, berries, shade, wildlife habitat, and a glorious structure that gives fast-growing definition to landscapes in need of some height. They are quick to establish, extremely low-maintenance, and thrive in full- to part-sun. Give yourself and your garden a gift by planting this glorious lady in a favorite corner! #fivedaysofherbstalk #muddyriverherbals #igersboston #herbstalk2016 #medicinalherbs #plantfriends #plantallies #ediblelandscaping #sambucuscanadensis #textgram
