I don’t know why EVERY state doesn’t toot their own horn this way. You can’t swing a dead cat around here without hitting a Farm Stand in the summer months...they even have indoor Farmer’s Markets during the winter months now for baked goods, jams & jellies, preserves of all kinds, wine, cheese, etc.

Life is Good. :)

You dried out yet Diana? Been watching the news and it’s tragic, I saw where there were some deaths in Indiana.

I have some good sized tomatoes on one of my plants, and 25 tomatoe plants in all.

I bought a big red one at the local grocery store this week (because mine are still green) but it will probably be my last one, and it was grown near here. We have “Grainger County” tomatoes now at the stores, they are the next best thing to ones you grow.

LOL. Like you, at the end of the growing season I have my windows full of green ones. I think today I’ll pick the few big green ones I have and stick them in the window.

There’s a huge Farmer’s market in Raleigh—3 hours away. They never really caught on here until recently, I guess cause everyone used to have a patch of garden at least. The one we have now does more flowers than anything.
