Rained Out Market
My bucket hats have gone international! Anne, our English pastry lady, bought two hats a few weeks ago and sent them to her grandchild in the UK.
A week ago when we looked at the long-range forecast for our market day, it showed sunny and pleasant. As the week went on, the forecast became gloomier. We decided to set up anyway and take a chance that maybe the day would tun out to be mostly drizzly. One of my best days was a drizzle day. Rain or shine there are the regulars who drop by for the farmers' fresh produce, grass-fed beef, eggs, locally grown flowers, herbs, Donna's goat cheese, and the Pie Guy's quiches. Cliff brought up the weather app on his iphone around 11 and we started packing up as the radar showed a large mass of green and yellow heading toward us. It rained all afternoon, all night, and is still raining now at 8am. I need to get down to the garden and thin out the bok choy, radishes, and beets. Spinach and lettuce are almost ready to pick. About 40 potatoes plants are up. Just before the rain, we planted Dragon's Eggs cucumbers, winter and summer squash. After all this rain, the tomato plants will need to be secured to the fence.
