The Drive to the City

Each week we pack up our wonderful pickings and drive it to the city.  We have met many wonderful people and even made lots of friends.  The drive to get there is never uneventful.
From last years tire blow out on Rt 676 to the reconstruction in China Town it has been very eventful, but this year the things we have seen on the Schuykill Expressway have been the most memorable.
Excluding all the dangers....like motorcycles flying up the shoulder at high rates of speed with unhelmeted drivers,  phone talkers and texters, and the ever loving make up artists.

A few weeks ago Nancy and Jess took a picture of a truck towing a trailer with a small pool.

But today while we were in stand still traffic with a small SUV next to us we saw it all ..........everyone in the vehicle had on a mask.  At first we were a little afraid but then realizing we were right at the on ramp from the zoo our hearts settled to realize that a "cheetah" was driving, a "panda" was front seat passenger and what we think was a "tiger" was in the back seat.  Go figure !!!!

Planting Your Own Garden

Do you plant your own garden each year? Are you thinking about starting a garden this year? The McCann’s offer seedlings of the crops we plant for sale each April. If you love our tomatoes and want to grow them yourself……check out the farm stand in April for all of your favorites.

Gardening tip for this issue……….Mulch the ground. At the farm we use manure and leaves that we get from the local municipalities. If you cannot get these….visit your local garden center or DYI store for bagged manure and peat moss. They will work just as well. By now you should have your peas planted and soon start planting spring lettuce, cabbage and broccoli seedlings
