Farmers Market Reds

August 16th, 2010 by

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.

  13. Dianne says:

    I posted some shots from Longstreet Farm, I had a lovely afternoon wandering around the farm

    • Leora says:

      Dianne, I greatly enjoyed your Longstreet Farm post. The photos made me smile.

      • Dianne says:

        thanks!
        I didn’t go in the old house although I took tons of shots of the outside
        it was getting really hot – 90+ and my back and legs were giving out

        have you ever been to Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown, I was there yesterday
        a photographers paradise

      • Leora says:

        “Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown” – I will check it out, thanks for the suggestion!

    The floral arrangements are perfect

  15. Jew Wishes says:

    The reds are beautiful and varied tones! I love the sunflowers in the second photo…gorgeous!

    Happy RT!

  16. Jientje says:

    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.

  17. Carver says:

    These shots from the farmer’s market are a feast for the eye. Gorgeous!
