Getting Caught Up!

So, this being our first year of business, it seems like we are perpetually behind...  So many things to plant, so little time to plant them.  We've also managed to get behind in the blog here, so we're going to attempt to get caught up.

Cook's Market has been at 5 markets now (Emporia once and Topeka 4 times).  We've already learned a lot about how to present our products: flowers and baked goods so far, although our jade plants have been quite popular too.  By far, the best part of these markets has been the people we meet, but customers and other vendors.  The other vendors have such great advice for us, and you can really tell they want everyone to succeed.

Here's a picture of one of our jades:

All of our jade plants come from several jade plants that our relatives have in their yard down in Florida.  many years ago, they gave us some clippings and we brought them back in our suitcases.  I love jade, mostly because it seems to be impossible to kill, and it's cool to have a piece of a plant with a good story behind it.
