  . We open the stand the first of May with asparagus, and close with pumpkins in October. We grow and market peas, baby potatoes, cucumbers, onions, lettuce, hot peppers, sweet bells of all colors, eggplant varieties that most have never heard of, summer and winter squashes, To many of my customers its the fresh green beans that they anxiously
await. Tomatoes are almost everyone's garden favorite. Last year, we had
fun raising five different varieties of grape /cherry tomatoes.
Tomatoes are another crop that we sell by the pound or by the bushel. Of all the various vegetables we raise sweet corn is our Queen. We plant nine different varieties of bicolor extra sweet. Staggering our plantings allows us to pick a fresh planting every five days, thus assuring the corn never gets too chewy or the kernels too large. I hand pick our corn every morning, and often again later in the day. We only sell corn picked that day, as I never eat day-old corn. The weather in late April determines when the corn will become available at the stand. If the soil is warm, and it is dry enough to work the fields so that we can get that early seed planted, we can start picking corn mid July and pick every day into mid September. We sell corn by the ear and by the bushel. Both the deer and raccoons have voted our corn the best in the county.
