Easter is just around the corner and any farmer, old-hand or new, knows Good Friday is the target for getting gardens in the ground for good growing and bountiful harvests. Needless to say... the traffic in the vegetable and garden house has picked up considerably.
It's one of the things I love about Spring. The return of our gardening customers. Sometimes they trickle through in the winter to pick up a bit of fruit or to just stop by and browse. But in the Spring...they are here most weeks. It's like family coming back for a visit, catching up on news and swapping recipes. It sure makes Aunt Theresa a happy girl!
Yesterday, we also received some really good produce. New potatoes,green beans, squash and some little watermelons. Oh, and the first strawberries of the season. Uncle Bubba and I had some with dinner last night and they are delicious! We plan on test driving those watermelons tonight!
Yep, yesterday was a gloriously busy, wonderful day! We hope you join us today.
