Season 1: Market Day 4

Wow, today it was rough getting out of bed (before the sun had fully risen). Alas, I had to roll myself out to do some farming before leaving for my non-farm job. After getting up (and whining a bit), I threw on some sweats, grabbed some clippers and stumbled outside to pick the veggies for ya'll to eat.

Despite my whining, once I stepped outside I was cured of my sleeping sickness! It is so beautiful outside these days in Western Washington! I perked right up and realized I felt super comfortable in mid-September at 6:30am in a t-shirt. (Although, September is always nice in Washington, people just always forget that.) It is a good thing too, those tomatoes and melons really need some hot sun.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is I got up reluctently but was so glad that I did and I got to be outside while there were still no humming of cars and the birds were just waking up. So thanks all you Red Planet supporters, without you, I would probably still be in bed wasting away a great morning.

Sungold Cherry Tomatoes

Okay, I will get on with the Market information though....
This week we should have:
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes (great heirloom varieties!)
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Cabbage
- Kale
- Beets
- Potatoes
- Carrots (thumbelina)
- Tomatillos (makes such great salsa!)
- Cucumbers
- Summer Squash
- Beans
- Flower Bouquets (mostly dahlias)

The melons still aren't 100% to our satisfaction so if we take some there won't be very many but hopefully all this great weather softens them up a bit more!
