Wow, those peas growing so nicely at the same time tomatoes are ripening is a nice surprise. I thought it was an earlier pic at fist. Perhaps the placement is the secret to that.

Anyway, your garden looks amazing! I’d love to have a garden that big one day. We tried selling our house a while back to buy one with more land, but not the best time for the housing market. We may try again in a few years.

Glad your produce stand is doing well. I was wondering, at first, how big a family you have :)

House raffles seem to be working well as a way to sell a house in this market. Choose the price you want for the house and divide by 100, that's how many tickets to sell at $100 each, then hold the raffle when all the tickets are sold (instead of setting a date). You can list the tickets on places like craigslist or Ebay.

I've heard of several people who've sold their houses this way, and they said it was easier and quicker than the traditional listings these days.

Just an idea.

Thank you for your kind compliments on my garden. A garden this large is almost a full time job! I have always had a good-sized garden, although it is only my husband and me. I can enough to feed us until garden time next year and I give away pickles and jelly and canned peas all year long.

It is a hobby that has turned into a life's work. I'm already looking forward to the fall garden and putting in the cole crops!
