Family and farm. We are always thrilled when the grandkids have a day off of school and want to spend it at the farm. Asher didn’t have school on Monday, so spent the day doing some tractor work, mowing and tilling (favorite job!), pulling up the big water supply line hose for irrigation (really dirty job, thank you!) and wrapped up the day picking apples with Grandpa. They got several different varieties ready for the Barker’s Island farmers’ market on Saturday, September 26, 8:45-noon. David’s also been picking the Bluebell grapes which are similar to Concord. So, we’ll have those and plums, too. The Baby Bok Choi was just perfect this morning. Some other things heading to the market include broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, still lots of peppers if you need some for a batch of salsa, green beans, kale, potatoes, onions, shallots, garlic, and squash along with some other things. The hot peppers are so beautiful right now, I took a minute to make some hot sauce. We’ll have BRF Tangy and Original bottled up for tomorrow. Still lots to do today, break time is over. See you at the market!🍅🌶️
