Merle Bowes from Limekiln Gardens never lets a big head get to his head. Cabbage that is! On the Ramsay 4th line he has a head start on us all at Limekiln Gardening. For 23 years (since 1992) he has been coming to the Carleton Place Farmer’s Market. From the deep soil valley where lime surrounds him, he grows no chemical-certified organic produce.
We all know that if you let your head too big it will break your neck. No necks being broken here, only quality produce with the secrets taught by his Great Grandfather who grew wheat in Renfrew County.
Merle has been a trailblazer on his 7-8 acres, and he grows tomatoes like no tomorrow. But he is a humble man, because he knows if you get a big head about things mistakes will happen. Believe you me– there are no mistakes in his amazing variety of tomatoes. Don’t like vegetables? Heck maybe broccoli doesn’t like you either!
Merle loves chili sauce and salsa made from his tomatoes. He knows the bigger a man’s head- the worst the headache- so he keeps it simple, and only the best comes to the Carleton Place Farmer’s Market. There is “no dill” about it!
We all have faults- but Merle is an honest hard working farmer- he keeps his head about him– but not his spectacular cabbage and vegetables!
Merle and his daughter Elaine keep their feet on the ground and have everything you need for a great vegetable dish or salad. And they never let their heads do the thinking for those big head of cabbage!
Remember eat your vegetables today- tomorrow the world!
