Simple GAB

Every Thursday from 3-6:30 p.m. during the summer and early fall our town has a little Farmer’s Market.
We made it to the very first one way back in early June, and since it was too early for produce then we mostly had soaps, herbs, wine and baked goods to choose from.
Yesterday we decided to swing by again, since there were reports of some delicious fruits and veggies to be had.

I told Bubba I was looking for nice ripe tomatoes, since our garden at home is still full of green tomatoes.  Bubba’s sole purpose for joining me was to get a Pumpkin Whoopie Pie from My Street Bakery.

Here’s our take for the day: a few ears of corn,  orange cherry tomatoes, and of course a Pumpkin Whoopie Pie:

With all the rain lately you think the garden would be super happy, well not so much.  A lot of the plants do not like their feet to stay wet (who does?).  The peas on the other hand are enjoying the added moisture.

On a rare sunny day this week Bubba and I decided to go check the garden’s progress. To his delight there were snow peas ripe for the picking!

He told me it was a good thing he was wearing this shirt while he was picking peas!

Hmmm would he be smiling about the prospect of eating peas if he had not help grow them himself? Somehow all the work and fun of growing something makes  you  happy to eat it.

Luckily there are more peas on the way!
