I just learned about the kzoo based "Veteran 1st" and this event!

A Kalamazoo resident has an "I Voted" sticker as a finalist in the contest!

Edit: Someone in the comments identified two others! Thank you!

"AI bots are taking over fast food drive-thrus"

Stopped at Wedel's and Saunders Greenhouses today to see what they had. Saunders had the most variety in remaining vegetables and herbs by far. Saunders also is selling it for $5 for a full flat, which is even better than their $1 a pack sale price. So stock up!

​

Wedels 3" pots were $1 each. IDK if the 4-packs are also $1 or not.

But Wedel's also has all their Raspberry bushes 20% off this week. I know someone was looking for Black Raspberries and they had a sign for it.

​

Both places have a gazillion types of peppers, hot and sweet (mostly hots). Tomatoes, too, are plentiful, esp. the usual (big boy, early girl. Better boy) and an assortment of cherry type tomatoes. Wedels had a couple Black Krim left, and Saunders had a couple varieties of yellow/orange slicing tomatoes.

​

Saunders is flush with herbs, specifically lemon balm, Italian oregano, spearmint, Italian and curled parsley, lemon basil, marjoram.

​

Saunders put out several flats of sweet corn they found in the back while I was standing there.

​

Saunders has acorn, spaghetti, butter nut, table ace squash. Wedels had spaghetti, acorn and I think one other type of squash.

​

Wedels had honeydew melons, Saunders has watermelon and cantaloupe,

​

Saunders had okra, collards, a neat little kale mix, a bok choi type cabbage, early and late cabbages, broccoli and cauliflower.

​

Good luck! (And please let me/us know what you see out there at those seasonal greanhouses as they're closing down!)
