Oh What a Glorious Day!

Today was absolutely beautiful! Before I go any further on that subject, I would like to back track a couple of days. It rained last week so planting was put at a stand still. Saturday was my first day at farmers market in Davenport. It was a beautiful, perfect day. If any of my customers end up reading this, I would like to personally thank them for making opening day such a success. It was my best market day ever and hopefully a sign of things to come this summer. Yesterday was another beautiful day and I was able to plant more mesclun, green onions, collards, spinach, turnips, and beets in the garden at my place. My dad redisced part of a field to prep it for planting corn. Now back to today. If every day could be like today it would be perfect! It was sunny and warm with temps near 70 degrees with calm to slight breezes all day. In the morning I took the tiller over to my dad's where my big garden is located and planted all of my green beans, royalty purple pod beans, and yellow wax beans. I also planted 10 rows of Indian Corn. Tomorrow I hope to spray it with Roundup. While I had the tiller over there I weeded the potatoes and spread Preen which is a granular herbicide in between the rows and incorporated it into the soil. This afternoon I spent discing the rest of the field for my dad so he could finish planting it. All in all it was a great day!
