Marketing and Gardening

The Market Goodies








The Daily Garden Take

Today was the Saturday farmer's market. It was another good one. We found lettuce, corn, cilantro, red onions, fingerling potatoes, free range/grass feed beefburgers, sundried tomato and basil sheep cheese, and 2lbs of red plums (not pictured). One of the farmers gave us a supply catalog for when we are ready to get going with the chickens. David gave me a gift of earrings from one of the market artists. They're very pretty, silver discs with tree of life cut outs and a dangling peridot. I love them!

The morning garden harvest was very productive, lots of tomatoes, green beans, peapods, chives, some broccoli, squash, and our first baby carrots. We finally planted the sproutlings in the raised bed. I really hope the leeks grow! yum!

Our friend Lisa gave us an aquarium which we plan to use to expand our vermiculture, better know as wormbinning. Now, we just have to order up the wigglers.
