Farmstand is Open

Our Farmstand is now open in NW Monkton. Now you can self serve a variety of vegetables and some zinnias.

And we renovated it a little, put some red roofing on it and fixed the sides and back. I think it does look nice.

We sell surplus vegetables and we can or freeze or dry or recycle the rest.

This year's varieties: Goliath tomatoes which have some blight but we picked them yellow, and

Zuchini->Raven is delightful and disciplined. We had

some slug damage but were mostly perfect.

Potatoes: Kennebec, Red Pontiac and Bintje.

Our plastic rows really help but the weeds, diseases and bugs work 24/7.

When we are done in the garden and exhausted from the sun and weeding and picking we come in and see our mischevious cat Napoleon aka Tommy aka many other names.

I tried to insert a photo of him but it was too hard today. I can try again when my patience for Vista and kodak and etc programs resumes.

Have a great night in your corner of the world.
