Good job!! I like farmers markets. Im an apt dweller. I grow potted gardens when I can. I like to eat local veggies and help the community. You’d be surprised. Fl grows everything but supermarket food is from Mexico and s america.. nothing better than a home grown tomato. Supermarkets suck.
We just moved to this little town on the Ohio River last year, and kept receiving generous gifts of produce from neighbors on all sides of us (one of them owns a greenhouse, even). Tomatoes do splendidly in this area, which is great, because the four-year-old eats them like apples ;) We also have blueberries that were left by the owners of the property (we rent, with the option to buy).
In the town square, between May and October, there is a farmers’ market twice a week. I’m excited about the garden. The tomato plants got hit by a bad hailstorm the day after we put them in the ground, and out of 36, we only lost 7 or 8. I forgot that we also put in broccoli (my kids eat it, believe it or not). The corn and beans are coming up, as well as the onions. I’m seeing some sprouts where we planted the melons and cucumbers. We still have room for more stuff, and we’ll probably do another planting later in the season. I’m making tomato sauce, ketchup, and salsa, canning the beans, and making pickles. I’ve got some herbs to grow too. I’m ambitious, but I’ve got free slave labor (aka the four kids).
