Farmer’s Market

 

  

     Corvallis Farmers Market is on Wednesdays at the Fair Grounds and on Saturdays in the Parking lot on the Left side of Central Park. It is a Great place to go with your Dog and get healthy, organic, locally grown foods.

 

·       Denison Farm, Springhill Farm, and Gather together Farms are some of the booths where you can get fresh Veggies.

·       On Saturday I saw Lots of fresh flowers, Blueberries and peaches.

·       Perri’s Lemonade and Yakisoba Noodles is a great place. Choose from Raspberry, Strawberry or regular lemonade. I always get Raspberry lemonade.

·       Oven on Earth has Bread, cookies, Cinnamon rolls and my favorite Pizza Bread.

·       At the Farmers market they also have very good Fresh Grilled Calzones from First Alternate Co-op. 

·       Honey Stone has Honey and bees wax candles. I have a pig candle.

·       Very good Corn is in the blue pick-up truck on the Madison and 6th end.

·       The Egg Man has Fresh organic free range eggs, when He says free-range eggs I think of a bunch of eggs rolling around in a field.

·       They sell annauls and perennial plants.

·       Buy lavender there for lavender lemonade as seen in B1, Cooking.

·       Things are cheaper at the Corvallis market than the Portland market with the same venders.

  mildews

There are two mildews that will affect roses. The first is called downy mildew, and the second is powdery mildew.


Powdery mildew is very common and widespread and is one of the most familiar garden diseases, and is rarely seen in the garden earlier than May.

Powdery white patches appear on leaves, stems, buds and even on flowers. Leaves may turn yellow and/or purple and can drop off.

Affected buds may never open.

It'll occur in almost all situations, but roses growing in dry sheltered sites such as against a wall are particularly vulnerable. This spread will continue throughout the summer when conditions are warm and dry. Wet weather will inhibit further infection.



Less common, but often confused with powdery mildew is downy mildew. This infection is confined to the undersides of leaves, although you'll find corresponding yellow or discoloured patches on the supper surface.

A bad dose can cover the whole leaf, and literally kill it off. Unlike powdery mildew, this one thrives in hot and damp weather and is especially common on young plants. Your rose will be vulnerable if you've been feeding it with a plant food that is too high in nitrogen, which encourages the plant to produce soft new sappy growth which the fungus finds easy to penetrate.

Mildew is often a symptom of too little water at the roots, and too much in the air, and is worst if plants are crowded or shaded.
