We actually had two sunny days in a row. That meant it was time to get the garden beds ready. So, our Saturday started with a trip to the Farmers Market in downtown Pocatello. That was an interesting surprise. Last year I spent several Saturdays (very cold Saturdays) at the Farmers Market trying to sell some raised garden beds (not very successfully).

The market that year was quite large and divided into two sections, one being the actual farmers market and the other being the flea market (my activity was in the flea market). It seemed to be well attended and quite active.

This year, however, the flea market is gone and the Farmers Market was incredibly small. I’ve no idea what happened, but there is not much reason this year to go down there. Somebody did something wrong, as a new market sponsored by the City of Chubbuck opened this year on Tuesday evenings out at the mall parking lot.

The reason for going to the market was to buy some tomato plants. That was successful. Then we went to Lowes and bought several bags of gardening soil to top off some existing garden beds and to fill up some new ones. Nina picked up several plants there as well. Then it was home to get the bags of dirt to the right place so Nina could get ready to start planting. The garden is going in late this year, but it’s been so cold and wet that we just had to wait until the weather turned nicer.

We capped off the day by going out to dinner. It’s been a good 46 years and the 47th year is now underway.

Nina wrote a nice blog entry about our 46 year journey that is far from being finished. I’d do it over again! Thanks sweetheart for a great life!

TTFN!
