Just as the seeds were sprouting.<br /><br />I think at the market we will be selling some goat meat, yes, and also product-yarn, hides, maybe some finished product(hats?) as well. We will also be next to the dairy goat lady selling cheese- I like the idea of a goat costume but not for me, thanks. :P<br /><br />Well, I guess I should have shipped you those 100- 2 gallon pots I just hauled to the dump this week. I was tired of moving them out of my way-but they would have been perfect for you. :D I did try to give them away but the lady wanted smaller ones, so I set them to the side at the dump (transfer station) and hope they found a good home.<br />TreeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427865825010778985.post-49142820286633220032009-04-16T19:14:00.000-04:002009-04-16T19:14:00.000-04:00Whenever I have had a Foster Garden, my name for a...Whenever I have had a Foster Garden, my name for an Allotment, I have always shared out seeds with other folks. Or if I have sown to many and have spare plants, although I am tight and ask, nay demand the pots back! Lol While never the point or reason for doing it, I would often get some of the crop back too. That said I have met folks who ask if you want some plants and will then try and sell you the plants. Personally I would rather share. As for thirty Squashes; One year I had a whole plot covered in pumpkins about fifty plants and fully supplied my local greengrocer with them for Halloween. I grew them as I needed some ground cover and as the whole plot had been freshly manured, something that needed a rich soil. Although I did go off pumpkin soup for a while after that.<br /><br />In relation to you doing the Farmers Market, I think you should go dressed as goats! But your retired shrink wrapper may read to much symbolism into that :-) <br /><br />But Seriously, if its food stuffs your selling then clean work like clothing is best. If its non food stuffs then something, anything that will get you noticed can be a real boon. I think that you have the social skills nor are overly shy, therefore anything that works for you and the sapling, be adventurous. <br /><br />As for swimming, tell the kids I tried it here in the pond a while ago (Slippy Mud, Frogs and Sparrow hawks) and its to cold.Wood Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295731881663492068noreply@blogger.com
