Back to back harvests

 IT'S ON!!

Picking time has officially arrived as you can see from the pictures below. Squash, zucchini, eggplant and cucumbers are in abundance. Sunday, we picked another 15 beautiful zucchini (think Zucchini Bread) and 12 squash. Today, there were 9 more zukes and 6 more squash along with our first eggplants and lemon cucumbers. 

Definitely will have this produce at next week's markets.

But during the week we will enjoy roasted vegetables, vegetable frittata, and of course our favorite homemade vegetable pizza.

Waiting patiently

That's the name of the game for the next week or two.

Our vegetables and produce look great and are growing at a fast pace but we must keep reminding ourselves to be patient. The cucumbers, zucchini  and peppers should be ready next week but then we are optimists. Radishes and carrots are ready now though.

Interesting first market

 We had an interesting first market weather wise in Forsyth Friday. Started out with a chance of severe weather after lunch but it arrived much earlier. Rain from 9:30-11:00 but at least it was only rain nothing severe. Still time for a great market. However, the winds picked up and stayed with us the remainder of the day. It made for an interesting day, selling product and holding  on to the tent to prevent it from blowing away. We were also excited to see so many of our regular customers come by to check out our products.

We are looking forward to next Friday and hopefully a calmer weather pattern.

Zucchini pizza for supper- YUMMY!

Market season has arrived

With the onset of warmer temperatures, it's a sure sign market season has arrived. 

The Main street market in Forsyth opens Friday, May 6 from 9AM-5PM.

This will be our fourth year participating in the market and Backyard Garden Creations is looking forward to a great season. We have many new items from our small batch garden to share with our clientele and we hope to see you this Friday.

Oh by the way our tomato count is at 420!

Getting Ready

The Monticello Market on the Square is less than a month away.  We are looking forward to seeing our market friends again. The garden is in process of being planted and will be ready for the market in May. 

The tomato count today is 300 with the goal of at least 400 by start of the season.

Let the planting begin

The weather has finally turned nice and that means it's time to start digging in the dirt. We began planting peppers, zucchini and tomatoes this past weekend and are looking forward to more planting in the coming days.

The tomato count is at 26. We are excited.....The final count will be 400!  

Alapahoochee Tractor Show

Honored to participate in the Alapahoochee Tractor Show this past weekend in South Georgia, Echols County.  It was wonderful to catch up with old friends, relatives, and new friends. I spent a lot of time shopping the antiques and rusty metal!  You need to put this event on your calendar. This event will have another round the last weekend in October and we plan to be there. Shopping the various vendors and selling our jams, jellies.

Look closely at the Suzie Scarecrows blowing in the wind. My sister makes those so if you are interested let me know and I will bring one to you.  The frame is solid so you can dress them seasonally...they are so much fun in your flower garden.
