We harvested our first Mammoth Jalapeno peppers yesterday, along with some Hot Banana peppers. Summer squash is coming along fine after I treated the plant with epsom salts.

I think (hope) that the stinking armadillo is gone because I'll have 11 new okra sprouts to transplant in a few days. The okra seem to prefer germinating in Miracle Grow potting soil better than composted manure in the garden or peat pots.

Oh yeah, lettuce - I am playing around with a bare bones hydroponic system and I grew some lettuce. The plants weren't doing so good in the hydroponics, so I transplanted them in the garden a couple weeks ago. Now, they're ready to harvest!
I think the hydroponics just needs more fish for a larger nutrient supply, but that's in the future.

The Roma and Cherry tomato plants that suffered the chicken attack are returning to normal. The birds ate all of the little green tomato's and parts of the plants, then they nested and laid eggs at the scene of the crime. If they weren't so productive, they would have been in the pot in no time.

The Mrs and I have been selling at a local Farmers Market. The market is only open for three hours on Thurdsay mornings, yet I sell on an average 7 dozen eggs, and she sells all her home-baked goods:

We're both hoping to have enough vegetable produce to sell there this summer.

She makes pretty bread. I say that as a professional.

Your market space looked really nice. I hope you sold some stuff. I would have bought some of all, probably. My wife would want eggs, and I am a sucker for baked goods.

We went down to our local Farmers market once to find it rather tiny and only a few growers, but several arts and crafts venders.

We asked about space; It was $75 per. That’s why it was so small, I guess. That’s sad, I was expecting more from it.

Beautiful, and nicely wrapped. I wish that we had a farmer’s market near us, but we do have a neighbor and friend who sells fresh eggs from his chickens. That’s a treat.

Our farmers markets are getting bad about letting you sell anything other than produce. Used to be able to get green beans, pickles and other stuff.

Awesome!

YUM!
