Tuesday Market

I haven't updated in a while, mostly because I am lazy. But also because I don't believe many people are reading this. We are going to market on Tuesdays now. Here are some getting ready and set up photos! Harvesting for market is quite a bit of work. For some reason I thought it was the easiest part of farming, yea right!

Flowers, Hay and Seeds

They hayfields were cut, the hay was bailed by another farmer with fancy equipment, then we collected the bails onto the back of a pickup and stored for next year. Good crew, good times. 

So after bailing the hay I was really tired and it was hot out so Phil gave us ginger root beer. This is me stomping on dried seed pods. The stomping breaks the dried seed pods freeing all the little black seeds.

Then we sift through the seeds getting rid of debris and dirt, but the seeds in paper envelopes and voila! Seeds for next year or to sell! 

Poppyseeeeeeeed
