My grandson (9) and I (?) managed to grow at least two pickup truck
loads of organic (no insecticide) pumpkins. Now "he" needs to sell
them. So where does he go to sell his pumpkins? I think this would
be a great time to teach him how to be a "Middle Man". He could
broker grampa's pumpkins to someone that could resell them:-)
We are not agreeable to allowing him to sell them on the side of the road
- those times have long since gone. (BTW - the pumpkins grew like weeds! In
fact, they are a great weed competitor, as they choked out
every weed. They do, however need to be irrigated in the heat. The
pumpkin pies, etc., are awesome - but you can only eat so many.
We are going to pile up a bunch under heavy oak trees near the creek &
see if they make it to winter.)

Thanks,

You might want to e-mail Tony Piccola (sp?) at South Austin Farmers'
Market (mostly organic growers). This market sets up to sell from 8 am
to 1 pm in the El Gallo parking lot, just across from the South
Congress entrance of St. Edward's University. It's very small and
congenial & this weekend at 10 am there'll be a brass quintet playing,
probably the Frontier.

Great idea!

If anyone has his email address, please send it to me.
THANKS,

Gene

The Westlake Farmers Market held on Saturdays about 9 am to early
afternoon looks like a drive-in and set up operation. It is held in
the Westlake High School parking lot on Westlake High Drive and looks
very informal. Somebody puts out signs so there must be some
organization somewhere. The road is one-way, though, and you have to
get on it from Loop 360.
