Welcome sunshine, hiking, outdoor concerts, days at the lake, flyfishing and all things summer in Sun Valley. Summer is a gorgeous time of year to gather to celebrate special events or just create "together" memories. If it's your first time, Welcome. We hope you enjoy exploring the Ketchum and Sun Valley areas including all of the Wood River Valley.
Your day may have started early with the sunrise. You may have hiked (or biked) a few miles, or perhaps your day is just begining. Where to grab a bite for lunch in Ketchum quickly becomes the most important thing.
Weekdays starting at 11 am Rasberrys begins lunch service. The seating options are on the patio (outdoor and partially shaded) or the dining room (lower level next to the kitchen.) The first hour of lunch service, from 11 am to 12 pm is the easiest time to be seated. Our busiest time is 1 pm. We end lunch service at 3 pm.
One other way to enjoy Rasberrys made-from-scratch creations and modern Mexican flare is to visit our deli. Every weekday from 11 am to 5 pm, soups, salads, entrees, fresh baked breads and sweet treats are also available for grab-and-go or dinner at home. We also have a selection of wine for a one-stop-shop experience.
If an easy lunch or casual dinner back at the condo is on today's agenda, we have you covered for that too. Visit Rasberrys.net to view the bistro menu. Then call 208-726-0606 to place your order. Be sure to ask about our daily specials - that may change your mind!
We look forward to seeing you soon at the bistro or deli in downtown Ketchum soon!
Container Gardening in Sun Valley, Idaho
While we all may not have acres of land, growing is a summer pastime with so many benefits. Containers come in all shapes and sizes and add beauty just as the green things they grow. Clay pots are attractive and sustainable and we mostly use this type. Many veggies flower and are a pretty compliment to non-edibles in a shared container.
A few key considerations when choosing your containers:
drainage - make sure there are ample holes at the base and drip trays
substrate - fill your container with compost, soil, gravel, etc. for optimal plant health
fertilizer - produce and annual crops require lots of food. The smaller the container the more they need.
sunlight - choose plants for your light conditions. This element is key to the plants thriving.
In our years of backyard gardening in the Hailey, Idaho area, we have found success with the following plants:
Basil
Chilis
Cilantro
Eggplant
Kale
Potatoes
Rosemary
Spinach
Tarragon
Tomatoes
There are a number of garden stores in the Wood River Valley. They are very knowledgeable and stock a nice assortment of product. Stay tuned for Maeme’s homemade “miracle grow”, she will be making some as the summer gets rolling.
Happy gardening!
