Today was the first appearance at the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market with produce. I had the camera with me but completely forgot to take a picture. I took a few beet greens, spinach, swiss chard and mesculin mix. Not a huge bounty but it was good to at least get a little bit of a feel for what the market will be like.

Rain All Day
June 22nd, 2009lay back and groove; take a holiday
After about 3 months with basically no rain the sky finally decided to open up and let out some moisture.
I actually had a small group of volunteers out early in the morning to help with some badly needed garden maintenance. Unfortunately we got kicked out of the garden rather early in the day. Fortunately it was rain that made us leave. Unlike the past where I ‘ve been forced to stop working due to lightning storms with no rain.
I had quickly spread white dutch clover in all the main walking paths just prior to the rain so I’m hoping the seeds will germinate quickly now (I wasn’t having much luck with what I had tried as a cover crop before). The rain today was a great settled rain turning on and off periodically. With my sandy soil I don’t think it is possible to get to much water. Hopefully my dugout will also revive a little.
