Rain, rain, rain....yippee 😆

Amazing how much better the garden grows with fresh rain. So many clouds had been coming over with the promise of rain but then dissipating!

The area we have planted is more like a giant garden than a standard type of farm crop.
But I do want to plant lettuce as a crop with constant planting as an income producer. We only supply a small local market with a Salad Greens mix with two types of soft head lettuce and three types of beetroot leaves and it is immensely popular.
We also sell a good amount of Cooks Greens which is a mix of rainbow chard and silverbeet.
Looking at planting a lot of eshallots (bunching onions), so far the small patch has been a good seller, easy to grow, no bug problems so far, and easy on seed saving. Sowing the seeds thickly worked best as they are keeping each other standing tall.

Everyone is saying we are in for a dry summer so it will be interesting what goes well in the garden this year.
Last season being so wet only a few things did well including basil, leeks, corn and the Tromboncino zucchini but everything else got washed away!

Is anybody else here either making or trying to make money from their surplus veggies?!?
If so with how much success?!?

I am hoping to start selling at the fortnightly farmers markets....well except that I absolutely hate doing the sales.
I get so personally attached to my veggies...my family laugh at me for this.
We supply a local health food store and the owner bumps the price up more than double and so nobody buys them and they sit on the shelf and go all saggy 😥
