It's seventy degrees and a great day to visit the market. Today Linda is being assisted by our adult children. They started helping when they were very young and continue as indentured servants. Each has been involved in the beekeeping, gardening, canning, and baking and can answer your questions about our products from a position of experience.
Highlights today include baked goods from the 'unreliable bakery.' We make what we feel like making. If it's good we have it until it's sold out. Stop by our booth first before goods are gone. Touring the market while eating one our individual strawberry cheesecakes cannot be beat, especially when the strawberries were picked this morning.
Our produce is coming along fine after some much needed rain. We have lettuce and onions now and anticipate sweet corn by the end of July. We pick our corn daily so you can be assured of its' freshness...none of it is that Texas corn that was picked two weeks ago.
Weeding is always a challenge in a chemical-free gardening effort. My current favorite tool is a long handled push/pull tool that cuts off weeds below the surface. I've found it very effective if used daily. If your schedule means less frequent weeding you may find the weed parts restarting with enthusiasm. A quick racking can minimize that effect.
