A Short Vacation

 

For the past several months we have been rising at four a.m. on Saturdays in order to be at the Grandin Village Community Market by six so we could be set up and be ready to sell by eight, the time the market opened.

This morning we lollygagged in bed, drinking coffee, until 7:30. When we arose we were greeted by sunshine and our first frost of the season, which means it’s time to plant the garlic. Oh well, that was a short but enjoyable respite.

11-9-14 The soil was too wet on Sturday to put in the garlic but is was just right today.

Doorway to…

In the past we would roll up the plastic that covered the front part of our winter tunnels, bend over and slip under it for access. This year David decided to make it easier on our old joints and put in doors.

Unfortunately, we still need to bend over to weed.
