September 4, 2015. Prepping again for farmers' markets

LOCATION:  Organicfarm near Ukiah, in NW California
WEATHER:  Beautiful!  Highs around 70.  Lows in 40s!

Today is salad picking day.  We have a good system.....Paola picks most of the greens; I pick herbs and flowers.  There are so many edible ones....pansies, hollyhocks, rose petals, calendula, garlic flowers, arugula flowers, nasturtiums, evening primrose.  I also picked more pee-wee tomatoes, enough to sell them separately.  George picks other fruit and veg....pears, apples, kale, herbs, kohlrabi.  

It was cool enough to pick in the afternoon.  I picked more calendula and pee-wees.  It took time to clean them, and they look so pretty....

.  
DINNER:  Shrimp and grits.  Side dish was tomatoes (what else!?) and cucumbers.

  1. You guys are doing great as farmers...you need to get a picture of the two of you, with a pitchfork...like that popular midwestern painting :)
