Gardening in Middle Tennessee.

We are less than 300 feet from a small lake - meaning lots of skeeters - and the wonderous (sic) chirping of thousands of frogs. I have so missed such a chorus. And, of course, I hope all those frogs are eating LOTS of insects!!!

Journal Entry 2013-06-02

Gardening in Middle Tennessee

• Strawberries, peaches, lettuce, small garlic, and jams from yesterday's farmer's market.
• Adding things to my Evernote Farm Files
• Not sure when the local farmer planted corn, but it is over a foot high now
• First of my Costoluto Genoveses are ripening. Small toms - probably a reaction to the plant almost dying. [2013-06-08 Turned out they were cherry tomatoes that had inter-twined with the Costoluto Genovese. Explains why they were small.]

Had a wonderful time taking photos at the Rutherford Co. Farmer's Market today. Wish I had more time before I had to go to work. Still, I scored some awesome fried pies and strawberries - most of which were happy in my tummy by the time I got to Nashville! And butter pecan honey. Mmmmm, you just knew I'd be hooked if you got me to try some, didn't you?!

You just know I smelled the strawberries from when I first walked in the door - and those red baskets pulled me right over to the table. I didn't have a chance.

More photos of the Farmers Market soon... but this one is open during the week, making it more difficult for me to attend. But mmmm, those fried pies were good. Might just have to wake up earlier on Tuesdays!

Keepsakes are as precious as any museum piece - working on bringing good lighting to small objects.  Balance between highlights that show off the piece - and bright reflective spots from the flash.
