IT IS GROWING SEASON!!!!

YES!  I AM YELLING THAT!  Do you know why???  Because I ate the first of many Heirloom tomatoes from my CSA Membership with farmthisway this week.  I tossed them in a salad, which also included lettuce picked from my farmthisway lettuce bowl planter.  And I have patio tomatoes growing on my deck (that I haven't killed yet!).  And flowers!  LOTS of flowers!! 

We have had two distributions so far.  The first on May 22rd, included 2 beautiful large hanging flower baskets (we got to choose two from their wonderful selection), a patio tomato plant, a lettuce bowl planter, and 1/2 dozen brown eggs.

Week two, May 29th, included a dozen citronella geranium plants, 1 porch planter, a flat of annuals, a pint of delicious little heirloom tomatoes, a bunch of green onions, and another 1/2 dozen brown eggs. 

The hens haven't been cooperating too much, but  Marty is currently deep in negotiations with the chickens to get them to produce more eggs.   The hens haven't given their further demands yet, but I am confident an agreement will be reached soon. Click here to view Egg Negotiations in progress

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Wednesdays during the distribution season!    Now even more so as I get to help out by working at the Farmer's Market in Blasdell on Wednesdays to distribute the weekly bushels of happiness and meet some of the other CSA Members as well as those who just stop by the farmthisway tent to peruse the vast variety of flowers and soon produce that Marty and Carolyn work so hard to produce.
