Farmer's Market

The Farmer's Market in my town opened up about 2 weeks ago and before this morning I hadn't made it there yet. They are open on Wednesday and Saturday mornings so my Mom and I decided to take our weekly Wednesday coffee morning to the farmer's market. We wandered about looking at the spring veggies and the flowers for sale. This time of year you find more flowers than veggies! I keep my eyes open every year for new perennials that I can plant in my garden and this morning I found 2: a yellow and orange Guillarda plant and a drought resistant vining plant with orange flowers. Planted them this morning and hopefully it will rain soon to get them started on the right track.

For a veggie garden this year we decided to buy a raised garden kit from Sam's Club that's 3.5 ft. by 7 ft. We planted tomato, watermelon, broccoli, onion, carrots, beets, zucchini, and cauliflower. Everything except the tomato and broccoli were seed and this morning I went out to check on it. The beets, zucchini and cauliflower are all up, now just waiting on the onion, carrots and watermelon. We chose veggies that we knew everyone would eat so I'm really hoping to get some good production out of the garden. (I guess I need to go out and take some more pictures!)
