Market News

I haven't posted for a while. To busy weaving and attending to garden and market. I've had a pretty good year so far at the market. It has been hot, of course.... it is summer. The hot weather has not stopped the farmers market faithful from attending on the Saturday morning markets. the Tuesday market though is leaving somethings to be desired. It seems hard for shoppers to make it to the market between the hrs of 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. working I guess. Or just to hot to make the trip.  Last week I delivered 18 rugs from and order and this week hope to deliver 10 more. I have 4 of them hemmed tonight and should have the rest to do in the morning.  The garden is  or was kind of suffering from the heat. the best crop this year is the cucumber. My tomato plants are quite slow to ripen the fruit and most only have about 1 tomato on them..I also have the pepper plants for the salsa, but they are slow to bear and ripen also. So guess that's what happens when we never get rain.
Last Saturday we had an inch this weekend we had about 3/4 an inch so maybe it helped somewhat. It sure helped the weeds grow, I know that. should get out and pull some out. There's a whole bunch of stuff to do.. Gotta get some weaving done for sure.
Keep on Weavin'
