Dear Folks,

Possible Frost Warning!

We have an unusual cold front moving into the state and valley
area which can bring frost to some areas beginning Tuesday night
/ Wednesday morning.

Normally the valley does not get its first frost night until around
November 17, so this is very unusual.

Have cloth or paper covers ready to cover tender plants (your
summer basil and tomatoes which have been doing so well now
could go down literally overnight if the frost hits them).

The system is supposed to move out by Friday - giving us a
halloween weekend of normal warm temperatures.

. . .

The new Phoenix Public Market's Urban Grocery and Wine Bar
(and cafe) at 14 East Pierce in Phoenix is opening this week -
everyone who has worked so hard on this deserves major pats on
the back for getting a permanent venue for local producers of food
and

Pierce is between McKinley and Filmore (about 3 short blocks
north of Van Buren), and the downtown light rail station is as Van
Buren/Central/1st Avenue (the rail stations in the downtown area
split 1 very short block apart, so the east bound station is at Van
Buren and 1st Avenue and the westbound is at Van Buren and
Central). Another station at Roosevelt and Central is about 3 short
blocks north of Pierce.

The is also parking (free) on the street and a lot at the Southeast
corner of McKinley and Central where the regular Wednesday
evening and Saturday morning farmers market is located (721
North Central Avenue.

Riding the rails is fun and shopping with local producers makes it
a satisfying adventure!
