A Weekend in Pictures
This weekend I mixed it up a bit. I went to two Maine farmers' markets, the Kennebunk Farmers' Market and Saco Farmers' Market. It was fun to see new markets and different farms and people! I also bought my squash, tomato, pepper, squash and eggplant seedlings this weekend! The garden is coming right along! Here are pics from the markets and my garden...
Kennebunk Farmers' Market:
Other things in my garden include Swiss chard, chives, broccoli, cabbage, peas, nasturtium, at least 150 onions, zucchini, summer squash, spaghetti squash, cucumbers, and green beans. I'm sure I forgot something! I can't wait to be getting those nice summertime harvests! I still want to get some potatoes going like I did last year, just trying to find the perfect bag! I also have one Jerusalem artichoke I need to replant outside (and far away from) my raised beds. This week I have lots of repotting to do as I've picked up a bunch of herbs and I'd like to trying a few tomatoes and eggplants in containers as well. The gardening never stops!
How was your weekend and how is your garden growing?

Virginia, your gardens look awesome - I love to see bright green sprouting from the rich dark soil! :-) And your chives are already blooming! Sounds like your family really likes onions... How do you keep them stored through the winter? Or do you use them all at once? :-)
Well I bought all storage varieties in case I had some to store. I know I'll use quite a few through the summer. I didn't grow as many last year so I didn't store any...this year I'll probably store them somehow in my basement!
Virginia,
I love this post. Thanks so much for living (and sharing) the NH local life!
