For pricing I usually go by the nearest equivalent thing at the grocery store/farmer's market, the market follows the store prices pretty closely tho. I do sometimes adjust a bit; for instance my artichokes were smaller so I did 2 for 1. Except for some overgrown squash that goes to the poultry, and the small amount I sell at the farmer's market, I do eat almost everything I grow. I have not bought hardly any veggies from the grocery this year, other than garlic and onions. I do buy a fair amount of fruit since I don't grow much yet.Mary Hysonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761108134258243637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-6792556229246454482012-09-17T19:46:07.145-04:002012-09-17T19:46:07.145-04:00I darned near forgot to sign in!
What a lovely,...I darned near forgot to sign in! <br /><br />What a lovely, varied harvest you had. Even without tomatoes and peppers, your garden has produced really well this year. I need to get the last of my beets pulled, even though the ones I pulled two weeks ago are still in my refrigerator. The weather has been just hot enough that I haven't been cooking very big meals. I guess I need to make some pickled beets.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-44782522857884389272012-09-17T19:24:53.338-04:002012-09-17T19:24:53.338-04:00Beautiful butternut!

It looks like you will probably pass your harvest total for last year. Great job. I've thought about starting to tally the value of some of my harvests but never think of jotting down prices at the farmer's market.

Sorry about your allergys. Mine seem to be bad right now too as came down with a sore throat and cold. Glad you were able to get some fall peas. My sugar peas are really growing but I don't see a lot of flowers on them. Still hoping before the frost! Interesting about the bean seed. I planted some old yellow bean seed and see there is a plant amount them with green big flat beans. I tasted one and it tasted like a bean! thanks for your info.

I have seen all sorts of things trying to pollinate these flowers, even hummingbirds. I was surprised, because I had never read about hummingbird bothering bean plants at all. Luckily, I didn't have any other variety planted at the time, but it really surprised me. Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885394458317264217noreply@blogger.com
