Farmer's Market

Today was the first Farmer's Market of the summer.  It's always a fun event!  Here is Eve with her fabulous green garlic and rhubarb...


 The gals from the Community garden....


Karen Christner peddling her goodies....


And me!!




I didn't have much to sell, just a few perennials I'd potted up.  I mostly use my booth to promote the garden.  There are still quite a few people in Sitka who don't know about the u-pick.  I put together a gift basket to showcase what we are picking out here and then I let people sign up for a drawing and gave the basket to the winner. 

Right after the market was over I joined Mr. Adams who was at the dentist's office waiting for Levi to get out of surgery.  We picked him up and brought him home.  He was a little disoriented, but not too bad.  Now he's eating mashed potatoes and gravy, watching a movie.  Hopefully he will have a speedy recovery.
