We made a little trip about 30 miles away
on Saturday to check out the Amish
community.
I wanted some plants to make
my own hanging baskets for myself and
to make one for our daughter in law for
Mother's Day. I had already noticed that I
had a stack of those hanging pots in our
garage. I found some great plants even
though much of that season is over for the
Amish green houses. The prices were
really good for plants.
I also made 2 Strawberry Rhubarb pies
with some lovely strawberries and the
vegetable "rhubarb". We also
purchased other vegetables and we
want to go back and learn our way
around a little better. We never
seem to find the same places
twice so we want to get a better
handle on that!
I am sure you realize that Amish do not want
their photos taken so these are just random
shots from inside our car.....
The signs are very modest marking
what might be for sale so one has
to keep their eyes peeled.
No electricity, phones, etc so lots of
fire wood to keep warm in the
winter and to cook!
Although we never found an earlier place
I had gone to before, we did find one place
that carried spices.
I was glad as mine were getting old:
parsley, basil, cinnamon, celery seed,
dill, etc.
