Even MORE pictures from Farmers Market

For some reason, I can only upload one picture at a time (may be my netbook) and only so many on my blog; so here are some more goodies from the market....it may take this and another to get them all in:

Ok, sorry if I posted any more than once, it took forever to get these to download. ugh! :) have a great day!

More from the Farmer's Market!

I'm just going to post and let the pictures speak for themselves! :) have a great day!

ASU Farmers Market!

Got to the Farmers Market today (finally on a Saturday). It opened at 7am, I got there about five minutes after. Bought some goodies, took pictures, and was back home by 8:05am with hot coffee in hand. (had to have some coffee to go with my zucchini bread!)

So here is a virtual tour of most of the booths and all their yummies and goods:

The sign and entrance:

WELCOME! Need a bag? help yourself:

Some activities going on today:

One of my favorite booths where I get the yummy zucchini bread:

I will post the rest in the next post! (Blogger slow today)

Todays garden update

It is only 7am and already it is warm and humid! ugh! The only thing I like about humidity is gardens do better.

I did manage to get out there and take a few pictures. I wanted to go to the Farmers market today but I do not really need anything so could not justify the gas to go. I may try Tuesday and I will take pictures and introduce you to our farmers market.

I thought these guys were done for but I was too lazy to pull them. Now I am glad I didn't -new leaves are forming! go cauliflower!!!

Sweet basil doing good

and so are my squash plants .... finally!!!!

and about that herbicide; does pretty good. The plants are still dying but trying to put out new leaves. I gave them another dose :)

I am in culinary HEAVEN!

I stopped at the local farmers market. TWO WORDS:

ZUCCHINI BREAD

I had not had bread this good since childhood. It is still HOT from the oven. Thank God it is a small loaf cause I will be eating the ENTIRE THING!!!

That's all.

Botany Field Trip

I took my students out on a little botany field trip today to teach them how to use a Dichotomous tree key.

It was interesting. But I do think they learned at least ONE new thing. So here are a few of the things we looked at. (not all because I kept forgetting I had the camera!!!)

Some Buckeye!

Some Coneflowers: 2 species of Echinacea

And some butterfly weed:

And yes we did get around to some trees! LOL! They identified: Maple, Pine, two species of Magnolia, three species of Oak, Redbud, Ginkgo, and I managed to stump them with Japonica. Bad me, it is a cultivated tree and therefore was NOT on their key!

It was nice to get out of the lab for a bit and get some fresh air and exercise! I think they enjoyed it.

Herbicide update

Silly me waiting a couple hours before I went out to take the pictures and WOW it had already started to work!!!

you can see some of the leaves already beginning to shrivel. The leaves may not look much shriveled but they have shrunk about four or five inches already.

this is what it use to look like. This is growing up on my Pecan tree and I hate it. I went ahead and sprayed all of it today :D










So now for what it all looks like 24 hours later:

So it looks like I give this simple home made herbicide a two thumbs up!!
