Market Farming

["Dawn Ricklefs" <paper76 AT fidnet.com>]

Hey, Marie, I'm in MO, too. What a weird summer it's been, hey? I water by
hand from my rain barrel which is quite a distance from my garden, so I've
been pleased with the precipitation and wonderfully cool weather. I do agree
that we may have an early frost which does not bode well for my
late-blooming garden. What part of MO are you in, and do you sell at a
market? I am in Mountain Grove in Wright County, and no one here wants to
spend a buck if they can spend 75 cents at Wal-Mart instead. Very
discouraging sometimes.

Dawn R.
