It wasn’t until we were writing today’s market blog post that we realized last<\/em> week’s market blog post<\/a>\u00a0mistakenly claimed to be\u00a0this<\/em> week’s market blog post. In other words, June 17 got mislabeled as\u00a0June 24. No one called us on it at the time, but it must have left a few folks scratching their heads.<\/p>\n

All that’s been fixed now, however, and we’re back on the right week. So let’s see what’s in store for June 24. The real<\/em> June 24.<\/p>\n

Our musicians on this Friday afternoon are Jones & Jones from right here in Emerson-Garfield. They play “classic rock (softly), classic pop, a little folk, and a little blues.” These (unrelated) guys\u00a0come highly recommended from some insiders at Spokane Public Radio<\/a>, so we’re looking forward to hearing them play.<\/p>\n

For our activity, Al Steuart and Ryan Herring of the\u00a0Spokane Master Composters\/Recyclers<\/a> will be doing a compost tea demonstration. What’s compost tea? Some gardeners swear by it, saying\u00a0it’s like rocket fuel for your plants. But it takes skilled\u00a0preparation, and the master composters can show you how.<\/p>\n

Plus the Spokane Water Wagon will be at the market today! They should\u00a0have some information about rain water collection systems, water conservation, as well as identifying and repairing leaks. They always have free swag, too, like wildflower seeds, water bottles and hose timers.<\/p>\n

Today’s\u00a0free\u00a0KERNEL kids exercise\u00a0is a jump roping activity. Experienced jump ropers will\u00a0get to show off their skills, while beginners will have a chance to learn some new ones.\u00a0Once they’ve completed the activity,\u00a0every participant gets\u00a0$2 in KERNEL Cash to spend on fresh fruit and veggies.<\/p>\n

The cherries are fat and ripe, apricots are in season, and the green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach) have pretty much reached their local peak. We should soon be seeing\u00a0some colorful early harvests.<\/p>\n

All the\u00a0vendors scheduled to join us today\u2014including a couple\u00a0new faces\u2014are:<\/p>\n
