Luca’s Psychic Powers

Luca has looked into the future and consulted with the soil, and this is what he predicts: The ARTfarm will open Saturday, November 16th, 10am – 12 noon. We will have microgreens, baby arugula, teen lettuce mix, basils, recao, sage, rosemary, chives, lemongrass, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, radishes, sweet potato greens, kan kon (Asian water spinach) greens, fig trees, fresh figs, and zinnia flowers. We’ll be open rain or shine (weather predictions are beyond Luca’s mystical powers).
