Farmer's Market

This morning we visited the Farmer's Market. When we woke up it was cloudy with drizzle and we decided to try to go anyway. It turned out to be great weather. It was Clara's first time there and she had so much fun. We walked around to see and sample the fruits and veggies and then were (yeah, big surprise) drawn to the plants. Adam and I have a slight addiction to anything garden related. Clara has definitely inherited this from us. She gets so excited to go to the plant store (I know the proper term is nursery, but for some unknown reason, I call it the plant store). This was unlike any plant store she has ever been to. You can imagine her excitement when the plants are as far as you can see (remember, she is only three feet tall).


After lunch and a nap, we headed outside to do some much needed gardening. Clara helped Adam plant the last of the Brewster crop. They planted peas in the garden and on the fence. We also have onions, tomatoes, squash, carrots, and several herbs. Last year, was an experimental garden to see what really grew. This year, though, we are really excited about it. I know when the veggies really start to grow, Clara will love to go collect them to eat!
