Arlington Farmer's

The farmer's market was a great success (at least for what we went out there for)
There were around ten vendors and many of them did even better than we did. Kay Lymon of Top Shelf Confections made the best cupcakes I have had in a while. If you live in the Arlington, Texas area you should give her a holler and see for yourself.
There was also an actual farmer with produce from his farm and his son's land. I don't know if his son has a farm or just grows cantaloupe (possibly musk melon).
My wife's book sales doubled today. Of course she hasn't been selling them for very long but double is still good.
The figs from my tree sold in a couple hours and when I got home after work there were just as many waiting to be picked. I love figs.
Later we went to get some trays to start still more plants. They were dirt cheap. I never get tire of that one. Unfortunately dirt isn't cheap anymore but around here clay is. Problem there is you can't plant very much in clay.
Anyway market good, figs good, life good.

Arlington Farmer's Market

My wife and I will be out a the Arlington, Texas farmer's market this coming Friday.
The city decided to start having one last fall and has brought it back this spring. It is supposed to continue through the summer on into late fall /early winter when there will probably be mostly squash and such.
Among other things there will be fresh vegetables, honey, and eggs. My wife will be bringing herbs and some herbal items. We will possibly be starting a larger bed to plant things in to eat and bring out in the coming months. I have plenty of supplies and just need to get up off of the sofa and do something with it all.
The Arlington, Texas Farmer's Market is located at 215 E. Front St., Arlington, Texas and is open on Friday and Saturday 8:00 till sold out.
