Hello, June
Well, been awhile and been crazy busy. Our first market day was yesterday:
Union Laundry SATURDAYS from 8:30 to 12:30
Shameless Advertising. First day and frequented by many. So far we have 8? or 10? can't remember which, vendors there. Products from veggies, to crafts, to beautiful wood carver/furniture maker, to garden starts, to home spun wool with room for more. All the vendors were so very friendly, nice group of folks.
Backdrop is the quarry, nice water hole with green around it. It was peaceful, sitting there, tending the booth. So many people stated how glad they were that a market was here. I believe it will be a good season for all.
The gardens are crazy. Potatoes are in and I see green!! 230 Green Mountain, 240 Red & 400 Kennebecs. With sprouting green tops! The winter squashes are coming up. Celery is 8 inches tall and the cabbages are pushing hard against the row cover. Peas are setting buds, just harvested 25 lbs of radishes and there's more. 114 market cukes have been planted as well as 94 yellow and red marconi peppers. And there's more, the list is endless. OH! But The kohlrabi. First time we've grown this bazarre looking veggie. At the base of the leaves, above the stem are little ball shaped growths. Its happening. They are forming their veggie. So very cool!
Here's a link with recipes & a picture of the white kind. (we're growing white & purple)
And here's a link to nutrition facts.
And now I gotta go put some flowers in the ground on this lovely Sunday morning.
