hmm I will try radishes next year. Though I read that one reason you can have FBs is if you had a lot of plant debris you didn't clean up - which was definitely the case here. So may be as time goes on, they will become less of a problem...but in the meantime, radishes are my friend. Geesh I've got grasshoppers too. I've never seen so many. Then again, I've never lived in the country before either

They are really bad this year Mary, the grasshoppers, that is. We have been here a couple of years now and never seen nearly as many as this year.

That's good to know. Even though the glads are done, they wouldn't look so bad if they weren't being chomped so badly. Yaknow, I never knew Jiminey Cricket was a grasshopper!

if you find out the name of that blue flower, please let me know. Sorry to jump in kinda late,but I do believe the little blue flower is an Asiatic Dayflower ,they are a member of the Commelina family. Spiderworts have a longer strap-like leaf. G-Mom

Weezie - thanks for thinking of me and my blue garden! I actually do have a small patch of that flower - dug it up outside the place where I did pottery 2 years ago.

It really is a pretty blue - I've never really seen a flower that' THAT blue. Course I ain' been around too aweful much yet! In the spring when I saw them, I stuck about 10 in an 8" pot in my 'test garden' because I didn't know what they were - Well they became part of the landscape and I forgot about them even after I figured out what they were. In about mid July they had grown wayyyy out of their pot, and most of it was dying from not being watered and not having much root in soil - but they still flowered! It was crazy! Thanks for the ID!

I am not sure if they have them every week, but I think they would.. it's the market in the town where I go for my labs.. I had to get labwork on Saturday, and they run the market every saturday from 10-something. The mixed boquets were $6, and if you wanted just sunflower boquets, they were $5. I also bought 2 little containers of blackberries. Umm.. I guess I'm not gonna make anything with them tho, cuz me & the #2 kiddo have been eating them.

We have a farmers' market in the next town over every Wednesday..it starts at like 4 or 5:00am.. for bidding on chickens, ducks, etc.... and then it' opens for assorted sales of cheese, books, garden stuff, and in the back like garage sales, everyone brings in stuff on tables... and it's open until 3 or 4:00pm... for the auctions that start at like 1:00pm.
I had often wondered if I could EVER do something like that....it's hard with the kiddo's... getting them off to school in the morning, and the organic ways with all the bugs.. DUNNO?? Maybe someday..
