Yesterday I went to Farmer’s Market. Just the little one, mind you. It spans a whole city block and has, at most, 30 vendors. They sell flowers, plants, cheese, baked goods, produce, and some meat and eggs.

Last week I bought herbs and spent my Saturday morning planting those in both pots and the garden.
Apparently that wasn’t enough for me. Noooooo.
I realized at the end of Saturday that I still had 2 large faux-terra cotta pots I bought this spring. They are currently living a purposeless existence in my tool shed and it’s a sad, sad situation that needs to be rectified.

I also didn’t feel I had enough herbs and other vegetables for my herb garden and had to buy more.

I bought:
9 flowering plants for my gigantic planter
7 types of peppers: a mix of hot, mild, and sweet.
Mint (can you say Mojitos?)
Cilantro – the broad-leafed kind.

I am debating whether or not to actually rent a rototiller from a nearby shop, till up the second garden, and plant pumpkins and some squash. I find the idea of pumpkins growing in my backyard to be appealing, but it seems like it could be a lot of work and I really ought to do it this weekend or not until next year.
