Well another so-so day at market! We are a bit between plantings, so didn't have a lot to take to market. The guys only took eggs to Fulton. Greg & I had some onions, but brought most home, 6 bags of lettuce mix, 6 quarts pie cherries, baked goods, jams & jellies, eggs, dried apples and plants. But the exciting news for our CSA customers (who get first priority!) is that blueberries are starting to ripen! So hopefully by Tuesday everyone will get a little container of them!

We spent yesterday picking for market, and then did yard work; mowing, cutting weeds and tree suckers, and hauling off old dead branches. We still have ice storm damage to clean up from winter before last! I also started weeding some of the new lettuce beds in the garden. Have quite a ways to go there, but it is almost too wet to weed as the weeds come out with the mud clumped to the roots, which pulls out the lettuce, too!!!! Our wild purslane is going strong, as it likes wet conditions! I put some of it in our lettuce mixes. It is high in omega 3, protein, vitamins E & C.
