Keger, I am with you. I have come full circle on the organic thing. Not bashing it, I just can not pull it off. I am also not in a position to keep an eye on the garden everyday. I want to be 100% organic but I use Daconil and Texas Tomato Food. I also use organic insecticide which is expensive, and I always amend the garden with blood meal, feather meal and cotton seed meal. I like to think of my garden as one that is aware, but practical. I do not want to lose a crop to disease because I am so rigid that I can not use a product that will help because it has not been approved by a government agency.
In saying all that, response at the market has good. Sold out of patty pan squash 3 weeks running, and most of the potatoes. We are averaging 2 dollars a pound for both squash and potatoes. Next is the tomatoes, 20 varieties. Can't wait.
John
