What a day for harvesting for the Farmers' Market tomorrow! We have a beautiful crop of lettuce coming on and I fear some will bolt before we can get it to Market. But right now it is perfection! That lettuce you see me holding is ONE HEAD of Sunset lettuce. The Buttercrunch we have has beautifully formed heads and average 1.3 pounds each. We also harvested a bumper crop of sugar snap peas and spent hours (it seems) packaging them up for Market. We also harvested beets, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, spinach, cabbage, our first green beans, and a few other odds and ends.

Anxious to see how it goes at Market tomorrow. Hoping for a big crowd. The sad thing is that strawberries have been advertised for the past two weeks, but none have been at Market and I don't expect any tomorrow again....

Only one producer in the area has a good crop and it is turning slowly with the cool nights. But he is selling all he can pick at his home Market and just can't bring any to the Farmers' Market. I certainly understand.

That's farming, though, isn't it. Have a good day!
