Do you remember this?
Guess what – after a month of hard work ‘that’ turned into ‘this’.
Pretty amazing isn’t it? And more amazing – it survived the forest fire burning behind it. It’s been a wild summer.
So we planted lots of plants inside and watered it every day or so…
We rolled up the sides in the morning and shut them tight at night and before we knew what happened we grew lots and lots of veggies.
So every Saturday morning for the last few months I have gone to the local Farmers Market and sold veggies. It has been great but a lot of work too!!!
Here’s my little booth all decked out.
I’ve sold a bunch of veggies, made some money and generally have had a lot of fun.
But summer is pretty much over and it’s a good thing – because I’m exhausted!
There are still a few veggies in the garden. Just enough left for me to can a few things for our own pantry and maybe a few more tomatoes to sell because anyone who knows me knows I always plant to many tomatoes. I can’t help it – it’s the way I am.
Yes, there’s still work to do before the weather turns bad but for now I think I’ll take a little break and be thankful for fall. Hope you’re enjoying the beautiful colors.

Your greenhouse/hoop house is great! I’m glad you had a good year at the Farmers’ Market. I garden, also, but no hoop house yet. I’m planning to make some jalapeno jelly, which I’ve never done before, and also rose hip (picked off wild roses) jelly. I’ve never made that before, but dug out my grandma’s handwritten recipe yesterday and plan to make it in the next few days. Have a great fall and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
I love making jelly – and I have always wanted to try rose hip jelly but could never find enough ‘hips’. And don’t you love using family recipes? They are always the best ones!
Your Farmer’s Market booth was beatuiful! I have been wondering what you are up to. I think growing vegetables and selling at a Farmer’s Market would be so much fun! I would have to add jams, breads, and farm fresh eggs to my inventory.
Hope your fall is going good.
It was so much fun – you get your ‘regulars’ who return every weekend and most people are so happy to get fresh produce that was picked that morning. I’m already planning things for next year – I’m hooked for good!
