SELLMEYER FARM NEWSLETTER

Tuesday night we finished working on straightening up the apple trees. There's still a little bit that needs to be done, but the worst ones are done for now.

Yesterday sure was nice! I worked at weeding in one of the hoop houses for about 4 hours! Still have a ways to go in there. Greg worked on tilling in the little garden out front, but the PTO on his little tractor is not working right. So he took the brush mower off the gravely and put the plow attachment on it to use it instead, and the spent the rest of the night trying to figure out what was wrong with his tractor! That's really aggravating as he bought the tiller this winter and it was working so well and on the little tractor it made getting around a lot easier and the ground was working up so well! Now he'll have to do it with the gravely which is a walk behind operation and is a lot slower and harder on the body!

Today I'm baking for the Columbia Farmers' Market. I will do banana, zucchini, applesauce & maybe persimmon bread, rosemary flat bread and cookies at least. May have to do more as there won't be as much produce to take this time since we will be saving it for delivery to our CSA customers on Tuesday!!!!!

I also have a conference call at 2:00 p.m. that I hope I don't forget about! I'm on the Missouri Farmers' Market Association board and we conduct most of our meetings via conference calls as everyone is scattered around the state!
