Pasta season begins!

Today was the first day of the 2011 Farmers' Market season.  We joined other North Grand Farmers' Market vendors inside the mall.  With 38 pastas to choose from, it was quite a dilemma for some.  The favorite of the day was Porcini Mushroom.  We also had quite a few that chose Tomato Basil for it's great red color for Valentine's Day.  Hope to see you there tomorrow!  We'll be in the mall Feb 13, 19 and 20th this month.

How long til seeds sprout?


Today was the day for planting and the count down begins!  We're now waiting on 72 tiny seeds to begin the miracle of spring.  I planted twelve six-packs which included four cauliflower varieties, one broccoli, and seven kinds of cabbage!  The seeds are snuggled in the germination mix, setting on the radiator in our dining room, hopefully at the perfect 75F temperature that optimizes their sprouting.  Stay on the lookout for photos of the sprouts!
