Friday sure was gloomy, cool & drizzly! Luckily picking the greens and radishes was inside the hoop house! We picked arugala, mizuna, rainbow swiss chard, totsoi, blackseeded simpson, oak leaf, lolla rosa (red), endive, escarole and winter density for greens, and pulled a few radishes. Then took them to our 2 bay outdoor sink for soaking, rinsing & bagging. Now that was fun in the rainy cold! Then we pulled onions, cleaned and bunched them, then loaded everything into the truck except the eggs.

Then this morning we were up bright and early at 5:00 a.m. to pack the eggs and load into the truck, open the chickens and hoop houses and hit the road! We arrived at market at 6:30 a.m. and unloaded the truck and sat up, ready for market to open at 8:00 a.m.! We had a so so day. We brought home eggs and greens, as those are in abundance at the market now, but today didn't seem like a produce buying day as a whole. Didn't see a lot of people carrying produce, more seemed to be carrying flowers and plants!
