Loch Duart Games
With winds forcast at 70 mph gusts over the weekend, and strong enough to scorch my lettuce plants, things didn't look too promising for the stall. I lost the tops of my parsnips in the garden, although the croft faired a bit better.
The stall survived the worst of the weather, and we managed to sell most of the produce. We sold out of Cabbage, Broccoli, all of the tomatoes (Ailsa Craig, Gardeners Pearl, and Gardeners Delight), Eggs, Lettuce, Carrots, Parsnips, Peas, and Cauliflower. Had a few Turnips, Potatoes, Beetroot, Onions and Courgettes left over, but cakes and jams also sold well, as did Cocoa Mountain chocolates (especially the drops for the children).
It is noticable that we are now building up a regular clientelle, who appreciate the quality and freshness of our produce, and look forward to the stall in the village.
