Fresh Cut Flowers and Produce

Hello Friends,
I have been busy with my new endeavor. Did you guess what it is?

 As many of you know, I took on a new adventure of having three gardens! I have enjoyed it so much. My plants have done well and it has been great fun gardening with my friend Marv.


 Sweet Meat ~ a big squash, that keeps growing and growing.


 Lettuce...yummy summer garden salads.

  
Purple Beans


 Flowers


 And more flowers!

  
And now for my new endeavor. Sam and Atticus are helping me set up a Fresh Cut Flower and Produce stand in our front yard. We have fresh cut flowers, yellow beans, purple beans, snow peas, and cucumbers.


 Fresh Cut Flowers and Produce...stop on in!

 Setting up the shop.


 Atticus likes to arrange everything, including the rocks.


 If you are in Cameron, Wisconsin this next week. Stop on over and say Hi!

How about you? Do you stop at Farmers Markets? What do you like to buy?

We like to stop and see what yummy stuff is for sale. Last year we purchased ground cherries for the first time, yummy. I also look for vegetables that I do not grow, like cabbage, sweet corn, yellow and red peppers.

 
Have a great weekend!

  3. Wow! you guys, that looks fantastic. Where did you find weedless soil? Lol Your hard work has paid off. I miss my Carmen peppers this year. They were available at the nursery last year so I didn't raise them from seed. No Carmens this year:-( I love your beautiful table display!

  16. Love, Love, Love your stand! It is absolutely perfect! Please tell me about purple beans.... do they have a different flavor? I am heading to the farmers market in the morning to see if I can't bell peppers since my plants aren't producing a single one so far. I will be looking for purple beans while I am there!
