Good morning from Collegeville,
Well I finally cut the cord. I moved my garden to St. Joseph. The hardest part was finding a flat bed trailer large enough to transport a 20 foot by 30 foot garden plot. I was able to cut a deal with a house mover and it went quite well. I figure that with the cost of gasoline on the rise, making a 55 mile round trip every Saturday was simply not a good use of resources. I left the asparagus. I will be buying asparagus from the Farmers Market in St. Joe from now on. Brother Bill is interested in transplanting some and Cousin Tim is planning on spraying the asparagus bed to get rid of the clover that has taken over. For those of you in the Upsala area that are interested, check it out once in a while. Usually in June, when the weather gets hot, there is such an abundance that it goes to waste.
Last night we celebrated Auntie’s birthday at The Local Blend in downtown St. Joe. The food is local, organic and delicious. The Minnesota Street Market, a food co-op, is coming along nicely. There is still some work to do in the back rooms before they can open for business, but you can join now. They had a “Meet the New Manager” get together Wednesday and I signed up. Check them out at www.minnesotastreetmarket.com
The show this week is a live broadcast from the Amphitheater at Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff, Arizona north of Sedona. Simply get on Route 66 and head west. Special guests include, but are not limited to, country renaissance man Jimmie Dale Gilmore and The Wronglers plus brilliant writer and humorist Ian Frazier. Enjoy this high altitude show on 90.1 classical and 88.9 news in central Minnesota. If you need a map of the station locations in Minnesota, send me an email.
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
