Tis August, and I’ve not posted since the first market day.  We’ve gone every week save one, and sold eggs, herbs (dill, basil, tarragon, parsley, cilantro), lettuces of several types, mixed greens of several types (like our Dragonwood Wild Mix), arugula, lamb’s quarters, purslane, garlic, leeks, turnips (ok, so no one has bought any turnips yet, but they look great), cut flowers (every week’s different, of course), nasturium bouquets (either for looking or for eating — about half our customers just want them to look pretty), edible flower mix (nasturtiums, lemon marigolds and arugula flowers last week), and oh I’m sure there’s a few things I’m missing on the list.  Our tomatoes and many other late summer regulars are only just coming in here, so the list will get longer by the end of the season.

The market has been a lot of fun!  We’ve got friendly regular customers that come back for more eggs (and even bring us cartons), or for garlic, or just to stop by and say hello and check us out.  We’ve got helpful neighbors to help tie our rickety sun canopy down when it gets too windy (every week), and a great crew at Zingermans running things smoothly (thanks Corinna and Kristen especially).  I just wanted to write and say ‘Hey!’ to anybody who stops by here, and make sure to come out to the Westside Farmer’s Market soon.
