Florence, Italy farmers market

 

I’m in Florence, Italy right now. Here’s Mercado Centrale by San Lorenzo this morning where produce, meats, fish, pasta and more are sold every morning. Felt right at home! Those are mushrooms in the last photo.

Tomatoes in on May 6th!

Tomatoes went in on May 6 with the help of Linda, Janet, Mike and myself. Many thanks! Planted 27 plants for me and 9 for the dwarf tomato trials. Plus this week I planted peppers and eggplants transplants in wall of waters and cucumber and bean seeds directly in ground. A bit early, as I always say to wait but I’m currently on my way to Venice, Italy and am typing this on my phone which is a pain! I didn’t want to wait till June. I’ll still have to plant squash, watermelons and flowers when I return. But this year because of the warm nites, I think I will be ok.  Ciao!
