July 5, Farmers Market Day

The Farmers Market is open in Potosi at the courthouse this morning. Cucumbers, zucchini, new potatoes, turnips, tomatoes, sweet corn, baked goods, and jellies are for sale. 

Veggies on the Farm Stand today.

The self-serve farm stand us up every day with flowers and plants but today David put out new potatoes,zucchini, turnips, jalapeños, cucumbers, and tomatoes. We also have Red, White, and Blue hanging baskets. We are on highway 8, 7 miles west of Potosi. 

First trip to the Farmer's Market

Today is David's first selling day at the Washington Co Farmers Market in Potosi this year. He picked blueberries at Liberty Farm to sell. He will also have turnips, jalapeños, pickling cucumbers, zucchini,and lots of flower baskets. 

Coleslaw. Some assembly required.

This cabbage is almost ready to meet its destiny. I'm thinking coleslaw for the Fourth of July. 

Still waiting for the first tomatoes

Well, not technically the first. We started picking a few cherry tomatoes, but this is the one I'm patiently waiting for. Every day after work I stop and visit this particular tomato. David keeps warning me not to touch it so much. He's afraid I'll knock it off and have a fit!

Family farm labor

David's sister and nephew came out to help plant sweet potatoes today. 

It's pea picking time.

Today I picked sugar snap peas and snow peas. Some of the snow peas got too big so I'm shelling them.
