| Non-veggie options at the Farmers' Market |
Several of my blogging friends have been showing off their local Farmers' Markets, so I thought I'd take a trip through my own after a nice walk with the ladies. I wasn't hungry, which is the best way for me to make my way through the market without filling up.

| Tomatoes |
This one is easy for me to resist, because I've got so many tomatoes ripening in my own garden that I can't keep up. I just went out to harvest some and ate a ripe one right from the vine, juice running down my chin. So good! (I was told that those green things on the left are ripe tomatoes, just a different kind. I might have to try one.)

| Flowers and garlic |
It's the time of year when the dahlias are beginning to flower. This will continue through the month of September and into October. We are very fortunate to have our market open until the last Saturday before Christmas, with seasonal vegetables that change through the months. Soon it will be pumpkins and squash, but for now, I'm thrilled with all the myriad summer delights.

There's Roslyn (also known as Tattooed Lady) behind her magnificent bounty. My zucchini hasn't done all that well, but between gifted ones and those she sells, I've had no shortage of them. This is one of the best times of year, late summer. I hope you are able to visit a local market or two.

Our Farmer's Markets run all year. And are a joy. Love the flowers and the bounty you shared.
ReplyDeleteMy garden is supplying me with plenty right now. Preserving time is nigh! Busy, busy!
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year when lots of veggies are ripe!
ReplyDeleteOur zucchini hasn't done well this year either, but at least we weren't inundated with it this year.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is still summer and we are still enjoying the bounty of summer, and the heat!
Your farmer's market is very attractive and colorful. Gardens here are starting to shut down but farmer's markets are going concerns.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful market. You're so lucky that it continues so long. Summer delights are coming to an end here, and the market ends in early October.
ReplyDeleteThe produce looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou always seem to have the best produce and flowers there at your market...oh, and bread! LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteYour farmer's market looks wonderful. Those green tomatoes look like tomatillos... which they use to make salsa verde around here. But if you are talking about plain green tomatoes, fried green tomatoes are delicious!
ReplyDeleteI gotta hunt one down! Maybe next weekend, when the weather should be kinder!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that your markets stay open so long. Wish ours did. I'm with Rian, when you can't wait for the tomatoes to ripen, fried green ones are delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely market! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes!! I do so love to walk through street markets with farmer's produce so readily available. And, I'm not sure, but those green tomatoes are actually called tomatillos?!! They are mainly used in Mexican food. And mighty good.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed walking through the market with you D J
You're making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteI went to one farmers market a few years ago, but it looked nothing like yours. Yours is better.
ReplyDeleteWe have made it to aNiagara roadside market where peaches , nectarines and plums were very ready. We also gotvsome tomatoes and green beans. Buddy loves the green and red cooked together this time of the year.
