It is a little market with mostly home grown vegetables, potted plants, crafts and jams and preserves. Although it was just a few stalls they were interesting and the stall holders quite willing to talk to you about their produce. I love talking to them, because they have a wealth of information that you really can't glean from books.
We purchased some spring bulbs from a lady, she had over 30 mixed bulbs in bags for $4. Amazing, I bought two bags and will plant them under the Silver Birch trees.
We then drove through Westbury. It is a quiet sleepy town with wide streets and lots of old trees. I spotted a sign with Hay for sale. I have been wanting to get some Hay to put under the Tomato plant that grows along the ground. It has so many fruits on it at the moment and I am worried that the soil will damage the fruit.
What an interesting exercise that was. The man selling Hay had a fantastic vege patch. He was quite happy to answer all my amateur questions and whilst walking around the garden bed I spotted the biggest, the largest Zucchini I have EVER seen in my life !
I have of course created another job for myself because now the car boot is full of residue from the Hay bale. Best go wash and vacuum the car I guesss.
