This market is an event that is every the first and third Saturday. I have indeed commited myself to being there each time.
We did ANOTHER market in another location. We are going to have to do a couple of markets a week because of our blessed bounty....we picked 19- 8qt. baskets of squash...
Ohhh....you are the best buddies! Thanks everyone. Your suggestions were so helpful!!
My little guy had a very good time. He was very good help loading and unloading the truck. He was paid for a job well done and I think he will go with us again.
Please, if you even think you would want...

Yall, I can't do this without J.D., (the name of our tractor), a 500 count...
Okay, time to let you take a peek....
I am standing at the edge of my garden, in front of the squash. The garden expands almost to the tree line in the back.
