Sorry my computer got fried

SUNDAY STORM DID SOMETHING TO THE TRANSFORMER ON OUR POLE AT THE END OF THE DRIVE
THE BROWN OUTS GOT MY COMPUTER --- IT'S TOASTED
WE ARE GETTING OUR POWER SINCE 9 A.M. MONDAY BY HUGE JUMPER CABLES.
SAID SOME ONE SHOULD BE BY WITHIN A WEEK TO FIX OUR TRANSFORMER SO WE HAVE POWER DIRECT AGAIN
(as all were being called over to the west side - because of the wind damage) so they hooked up what looks like huge jumper cables to get us power from a transformer south of us.
So, today April brought me over her computer so I could get on here.
Please bear with me as none of my information is on this computer.
THANK YOU ALL

MONDAY EVENING AT COIT RD FARMERS MARKET (in East Cleveland)--- 3 P.M. -- 7 P.M.

Red Raspberries peak

WHENS A GOOD TIME TO COME?
THIS IS A QUESTION WE ARE ASKED THE MOST
IT IS EITHER BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT TO BE SHOPPING WHEN THERE IS A CROWD OR CAUSE WE RAN OUT OF ONE ITEM THEY WERE LOOKING FOR

BEST WAY I CAN ANSWER THAT IS

AT THE FARM - THUR., FRI. OR SUN. 1 P.M. TO 7 P.M.
MONDAY AT COIT RD. FARMERS MARKET IN EAST CLEVELAND 3P.M. TO 7P.M.

EVERY ONE OF THOSE DAYS WE MAY RUN OUT OF ONE OR TWO ITEMS BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE HAVE EXTRA OF AT LEAST A DOZEN ITEMS
THE MAIN SEASON IS YOUNG YET THIS IS NORMAL TO HAVE A FEW ITEMS EARLY
SOME CROPS ARE JUST NOW THERE TIME TO PUT THE SEED IN THE GROUND SO THAT IT IS COOLER AT THE END OF THEIR GROWING SO YOU HAVE FALL CROPS THAT ARE AT THEIR BEST TASTE, THEN THERE ARE THINGS LIKE MELONS, TOMATOES, PEPPERS, WINTER SQUASH, SUMMER SQUASH THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE GROUND BUT, IT ISN'T TIME FOR THEM TO BE READY A FEW ARE STARTING.
REALLY VEGETABLES LIKE THE TOMATOES, PEPPERS, EGG PLANT, OKRA, EARLY CAULIFLOWER, EARLY BROCCOLI WERE STARTED IN THE GREEN HOUSES IN JAN. AND FEB. SO YOU CAN HARVEST THEM AT THE TIME WE ARE NOW, AND SOON WILL BE.
A LOT OF THE VEGETABLES WE EAT HERE IN OHIO ARE TROPICAL OUR HOT SEASON IS TOO SHORT FOR THEM. IF WE WERE IN THE TROPIC THEY WOULD GROW YEAR ROUND.
LAST SUNDAY AND MONDAY
WE HAD BUSHELS OF EXTRA LETTUCE, BROCCOLI, CUCUMBERS, ONIONS AND 8 LB. PEAS, SMALLER AMOUNTS OF ZUCCHINI, BEET GREENS, MINTS, HERBS, RADISH, CHEDDAR CAULIFLOWER, NEW RED POTATOES, DILL, 12 PINTS RED RASPBERRIES, 12 PINTS CURRENTS, CUT FLOWERS, EDIBLE FLOWERS FOR SALADS.
TODAY WE HAD EXTRA
ONE BUSHEL KOHLRABI, HALF BUSHEL GOOD SIZE BEETS, HALF BUSHEL ONIONS, SMALLER AMOUNTS OF RED NEW POTATOES, YOUNG KALE, DILL, ROSEMARY, OREGANO, MARJORAM, LAVENA,SPEARMINT, CHOCOLATE MINT, 36 PINTS OF RED RASPBERRIES, 1 PINT OF RED CURRENTS, ZUCCHINI, RADISH, CUCUMBERS, EDIBLE FLOWERS, CUT FLOWERS, BROCCOLI.
WE RAN OUT OF EGGS MID DAY BUT BY ABOUT 4 P.M. WE HAD MORE AND EVEN ENDED UP WITH EXTRA AT THE END OF THE DAY.
SO NO NEW MEMBERS THINK THAT I AM TRYING TO CHEAT YOU OUT OF EGGS - YOU MAY COME AND SEE A MEMBER GET 4 DOZEN AND I MAY ONLY HAVE 2 LEFT FOR YOU AND NOT 4. I DO HAVE A FEW MEMBERS WHOM HAVE BEEN MEMBERS FOR A FEW YEARS AND DO COME WEEKLY YEAR ROUND FOR EGGS AND WHAT EVER ELSE I HAVE, I DO MAKE SURE THEY CONTINUE TO GET AT LEAST THEIR WEEKLY USUAL AMOUNT. AS AT LEAST 95 PERCENT MEMBERS ONCE THE WEATHER TURNS WILL NOT COME FOR EGGS. MY CHICKENS DO LAY IN THE WINTER MANY TIMES MORE THEN IN THE HOTTEST PART OF THE SUMMER. I CAN NOT EAT 100 EGGS A DAY. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS EGGS ARE NOT ON THE MEMBERSHIP THEY ARE A CASH ITEM.
