THE U-Pick GARDEN will be closing August 20th. This will be the last year the garden will be open to the public. Next year I'll be operating as a CSA, supplying about 20 regular customers with weekly boxes. Thank you for your support over the last 8 years, but it's time to try something new.

To get a copy of my book, "How To Grow Vegetables In Sitka, Alaska" just give me a call....The books are $20 plus tax. If you live out of town and want me to mail you a copy, you can mail a check for $25.60 to:

Purple People Eaters!

Well, the boat left town yesterday.....without me!

However will they get along without me?!?! Just kidding...Ron and Alex are on board to help.

I am staying in town for awhile to keep the garden open and take care of Levi...not that he needs a babysitter...I just think it's my job to be here with him as much as possible.

The weather was fantastic today...and NO BUGS!!! I love it when it's like that. Business has been good...I am running out of vegetables to sell people, but somehow they always manage to fill a bag or two.

This morning I harvested a potato plant. I have been dying to see what's in one of those tubs ever since I got back from vacation and today I could not stand the suspense any longer!
