I dag har jeg solgt hjemmelavet surkål til vores første #farmersmarket ude i #christiania. Vi vil skabe ny energi herude, og vi glæder os til at komme igen!
It used to be that I could always get #DandelionGreens at the #Seattle#Ballard#FarmersMarket come spring, and from multiple vendors. But sometime (when my kids were too young to appreciate them, so maybe 5-10 years ago?) they disappeared and haven’t come back.
Just no market for it? Or the land now taken up with more valuable crops?
I love how successive governments allows these monster businesses to grow and eat their competitors while claiming its great for the shareholders and then when they realise it’s a disaster and they have become bloated price gouging lobby machines, they try and blame everybody else apart from their own shit policies.
Shareholders should not have a priority over social cohesion and why aren’t the not for profit superannuation companies flexing their muscles around this?
Well one thing it’s made me do today is look up my local farmers markets and now I’m off to one just 1 suburb away. Looking forward to it as I haven’t been to any since before covid, I’ll probably spend a stupid amount on gourmet jams, chocolates, outrageously hot chilli sauces that will sit in my pantry for years that comes out to show off to friends how tough I am and some sort of bacon, egg roll thing and a jam donut for the trip home. But I’ll at least feel I’m sticking it to the man. 🖕
Now where are my canvas and string bags??
30 different types of tomatoes to choose from to grow this coming gardening season.
WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY GODDAMN TOMATO SEEDS?
Anyway, of these... which ones are your favorite, or which would you like to try?
My favorites are the Sungold's and the Super Sweet 100s.
My goal is to make and sell things at farmers markets, and my little farm stand (that I didn't put up at all in 2023, whoops!).
Tomatoes are not all I grow... but I will never not be surprised at how many different types of tomatoes I have when I take my seed stock at years end.
Don't think there is a more perfect market day than a blustery October Saturday with leaves blowing everywhere, and lots of local produce in the vendor stalls. Nice one!
Those brats that come with the cheese already inside them are a complete racket because if you cook them properly you cook the cheese right out and then where are you? Sans cheese is where. Dispossessed of the "added value" cheese you purchased. Having been, as the venerable brat ancients used to say, uncheesed.
I am halfway through cleaning the pots for the closing garden season. Tomorrow I have to take the tunnel down, the plastic gets brittle in cold weather.
