    Yesterdays market was wonderful. I almost sold out completely. So this week I will be making more breads and jellies. I have so few plants left I need to find more things to take their place. Any suggestions?

    I just knew you'd do well Donna.:) Your stall looks really attractive and I'm so pleased you almost sold out of everything. I'm sure we can think up something to take the place of your plants if we put our heads together.

    I wished I could have been there. I know I would have bought many of your plants, jams, and bread. They all look great and are arranged so nice. The only thing I can think to add is more bread, jam, maybe cookies. candies or pies.

    Donna, your market stall looks wonderful, and delicious!
    Have you thought of making herb bouquets--cut herbs that compliment each other and a certain vegetable or meat? I cut herbs, put the stems in a sandwich bag with a wet paper towel, disguise the bag with brown paper (cheap lunch bags from the grocery store) and tied at the neck with garden twine or raffia so that it looks like a bouquet in a brown paper vase. An attached tag identifies the herbs, and what they go well with (e.g., marjoram and thyme for grilled chicken). You could even have a few recipes to hand out.
    I have the feeling anything you have to sell will be a hit with customers!

    That jam looks wonderful Donna. That's just one more thing that would get me over to your stall.

    Thanks all. Headed to the kitchen to make more bread. Tomorrow I'll make jams and jellies.
