Had to cut down a small peach tree today due to some kind of canker. Being farmer of the day helps bring back some of my confidence. Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

Congrats on being farmer of the day.

It looks like you have quite a mix of fruits, berries, and veggies. I usually stick to a basic five things in my garden. They are tomatoes, green peppers, onions, potatoes, and cucumbers.

Have a great Salt Lake City spring day.
