This morning we took an excursion out to the grand opening of the farmer's market in Grand Prairie. We bought some homemade tortillas and new potatoes, and are so excited about eating both. A few weeks ago Zephan bought some new potatoes from the market in Dallas, and we cooked them with fresh rosemary from our new garden. It. was. awesome.
On the way home, we stopped at a nice little local feed store to buy diatomaceous earth (food grade!) and fencing for our peas to climb. There was no fencing, but we did buy original recipe Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle (made with real sugar, so . . . healthy) and now we know where to buy any kind of pepper plant you could ever want. And we're thinking about buying some strawberry plants. Plus Silas got to check out the bunnies and parakeets.
Katie has decided that we definitely need to go back, if only for the Dr. Pepper and the feed store smell. It reminded her of hanging around the MFA with her Dad and grandma as a kid, which invariably ended in wanting one of those suckers they always had by the cash register in the cool stands.
