Farmers Market Reds

bouquet with red, orange, yellow, blue, purple
Friday was a beautiful, not too hot day in Highland Park. What a joy to visit the farmer’s market. I usually buy peaches, yellow squash, parsley and a cucumber. If the organic stand features kale, I buy some of that, too. What produce do you like to buy?

The blossoms are to die for! Your photo is stunning!

This time of year, I buy zucchini, leaf lettuce and peaches. I grow tomatoes, cucumbers and parsley so I don't need them. ;-)

This is my first year growing cucumbers. I got a few, but then the groundhog ate one of my vines. We sent him/her off to a distant park. Haven't had as many as I like.

No matter how much parsley I grow, it's never enough. It may be too late to plant more seeds for fall.

The idea of a farmers market is hopefully a reality by us too, in a couple of years.
I'd love to go there buying vegetables and fresh sun ripen fruit.
I probably would buy so many flowers I could afford.
I usually buy flowers, mostly for the garden once a week. They are food for my soul.

It would be so nice to see you in Haugesund!!!

Anything that is local and fresh is what interests me at a farmer's market. I await the freshest of vegetables which come from faraway in the Winter, but is okay. However, produce from less than a hour away is the best...

Oh Leora - what a gorgeous mix of flowers! I think I held my breath when the picture came up. :)
The focus on the flowers in the second - nice job!
I love to buy good ripe cantelope and fresh corn on the cob to go with my own fresh tomatoes and green beans.

I love the composition of that sunflower picture. I LOVE to buy tomatoes at a farmers market. I think they're a lot tastier than supermarket tomatoes.

I can't understand how anyone would buy a supermarket tomato! I grow my own - those are tasty and sweet.
