Farmer's Market

[lsanderson]

I made my weekly trek to the Farmer's Market this morning.

It was clean-out week. The market was much smaller than the week before, and that was smaller than the ones before.

I asked a guy how much the radishes cost, and he said "Two bunches for $1." then he gave me four bunches.

I bought a bunch of small squash and the vendor told me to take another... which in reflection, may not have been an extra...

One vendor took a five for a one, but gave me change when I asked. I'd bought a head of cauliflower, not local, slightly shaved. There have been majestic heads of purple cauliflower, but I'm too cheap to spend the big bucks to buy one.

Good Grief! I'm just now planting cauliflower seeds. About a month late (though we have 90-degree weather predicted for later this week), but even so.... I think I'll grow one plant of white, one of purple, and maybe one of orange, though I'm not sure what I'll do with all of them -- my usual fix of cauliflower is one head per year (part of it steamed, part creamed, and part soup). And I think I'll do four plants of broccoli this year -- two fancy and two the old-fashioned kind that produces small heads on side branches for several months.
