Le marché des agriculteurs

Posted on

Just up the way is a darling little farmer’s market. Each time I enter, my heart palpitates a bit. It’s like stepping into the very charm of country life. A local farmer actually tended his garden until it produced a harvest. It wasn’t shipped or imported. Somehow, that makes the experience more authentic. Ah…that’s it. It’s the authenticity and the old-fashioned format that make the Farmer’s Market my heart go pitter-pat.

Plump, vine-ripened tomatoes.

Resplendent citrus and avacado. Vibrant, leafy greens.

Mmmm. A full bounty.

I plan to plant my first garden in the next few weeks. My roomie’s dad is coming to help us build the planters. Soon, I will have my own farmer’s market in my backyard. Yippee!

What do you think I should plant?!

  1. You should plant what makes you happy! So that when you feed,grow,love and in most cases talk to your plants (yes I said talk to your plants,all the greatest farmers do it.) when harvest comes you will enjoy the fruit of your crops and they will make you happy. So what plants make you happy?
