Thank You.

I've had a wonderful year and I hope you have too.  However, it's time to put the garden to bed, so Rose Cottage Garden has gone into semi-hibernation until spring.

However, if you need fresh carrots, white-fleshed sweet potatoes, chard, parsley, garlic, kohlrabi,  pickled beets, grape jelly, bread & butter pickles or zucchini mustard relish over the next few weeks please give me a call (I'm in the phone book) and I'll be happy to fill your order.

Thank you for supporting Rose Cottage Garden and for helping to make my small enterprise a success.  Look for the colourful blue sign at the side of the road next spring when once again I'll be ready to provide most of your fresh produce needs, organically grown, at excellent prices.

Have a safe and healthy winter.
