My aunt babysat us when we were kids. We were borderline slave labor for the 10 acre garden. Oddly, It made me really enjoy gardening. I really enjoyed going to the farmers market and selling the goods too. And seeing what everyone else was selling. Homemade jams were my fav to sniff out.

Mama wants to put in a big pumpkin patch this year and sell 'em. So that might be in the works.

I'm going to use the farmers market more this year because the last 2 years I dropped over $300 in seeds in my garden to feed the damn rabbits and ended up buying it at the farmers market instead... now the rabbits are good archery targets

Yeah they should, cause farmers get subsidies.

mrs johnr and I spent close to 14 years growing a beautiful garden season after season, and processing our fall harvest into the finest salsa you could ever taste. We have since moved into a new home, and made a decision to abandon the years of knowledge and huge successes our garden produced and utilize the farmers market for our annual salsa making Saturday.
The work and time put into weeding, planting, weeding, watering, weeding, and finally weeding before the harvest was always a fun process, but seems my time and efforts could be better utilized in the boat, on the bike, or even in front of the tube.

It will be nice to not come home from the lake tired and yet feel obligated to spend sunday night weeding a garden.

long as you stay on top of the weeds early, and put some sort of barrier down between rows, Ive never had significant issues, course my garden isnt HUGE either, but more than I can usually use.

Nice to see someone growing trees for a change when every landowner seems to want to cut
them down. Good for you, fishmission, for planting some good, lasting cover.

Well Fishmissions deer should be easy to find. Just put out a bucket of Heath Bars and Cheetos and I bet they show up right quick.
