We attended our last farmer’s market of the year on Tuesday afternoon, December 22. It was somewhat of an odd market because we normally only attend that market on Saturday mornings. But bad weather last weekend prevented us from going, along with other local growers. We had customers wanting our greens and eggs for Christmas and New Year’s that they had missed out on Saturday. So we and four other local farms banded together and showed up and it was a lot of fun.
As you can see, this blog has been static since early October. Andy, the guy that had been doing it for me, is one of our CSA (community-supported agriculture) members and did an awesome job! We traded him 22 weeks of vegetables for his IT knowledge and we probably owe him. No, I know we owe him. He as been strongly suggesting that I get out of my baby crib and start learning to crawl with this blog stuff. Of course, he implied it in a very nice and laid-back way. I am just excited that I finally learned how to add content to my own blog! Pictures and videos are next when I figure out how.
Sauerkraut – I made a batch Sunday. It should be ready in 6 weeks or so.
The moon was waxing and the signs were right. Does that make a difference? I don’t know, it sounds archaic. But is it? Planting by the signs developed over hundred’s of years from our ancestors watching the movement of the stars, observing plant growth, and paying attention to weather patterns. They spent most of their days outside and sheltered in humble cabins and houses. Most of us have parents or grandparents that grew up in homes with no electricity or running water and living on a dirt road or close to one. Now we are constantly attached to our cell phones, the internet, cable or sat. tv that we feel lost if we cannot have instant access to whatever we want immediately. We no longer spend time looking at the night sky or paying attention to plant growth because we don’t have to. But does that make our lifestyle better?
