The Seeds Have Sprouted

We planted lots of things for our garden this year including tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, lettuce, and cucumbers. We still have other things to plant directly in the garden including green beans.

We tilled about 900 square feet for the main garden and 16 feet by 5 feet for just cucumbers. Another section the same size, this section will be used for growing lettuce and onions.

We also tilled up about 40 feet by 5 feet for flowers that I will sell at the Farmer's Market.

Enjoy the pics and get out and support local farmers by attending a Farmer's Market in your area.

Northside Farmers Market

The Northside farmer's market found a place for us for the winter. We are located at the North Presbyterian Church auditorium from 4-7:30 on Wednesdays. The church has been so wonderful to offer a place to sell our artisan goods along with fresh eggs, pork, honey, apples, jams, herbs and amazing coffee. Please come check us out we will be a that location until May then back to Hoffner park on Hamilton Avenue. Support local artisans and farmers and visit us at the market.

Why I love Summer

This is why I Love summer, the Farmer's Markets. You can purchase the freshest fruits and vegetables there. Also the farmers are local so less gas and better for the enviornment.

Our local market also has music every week and we have heard some amazing musicians this summmer.

There are also local artisans with handmade soap, jewelry and clothing.

So please shop your local farmer's market and support local farmers.

Look What We Made!

Our garden was overflowing with cucumbers so we decided it was time to make some dill pickles. We picked them fresh yesterday sliced some and made some dill pickle spears. We put dried red peppers and a clove of garlic in the jar to make them nice and spicy.

We also made blackberry and strawberry jam from berries from a local farmer here.

We will keep some for ourselves and sell some at the local Farmer's Market.

I had some of the blackberry jam this morning and it was wonderful.

Here are some pictures of us canning the pickles and making the jam.

Enjoy.
