Though it was a brisk morning, it was a delightful day at the market - steady, not crazy busy, and we were very happy to see many familiar faces...in fact, this week we've chatted with many customers who have been with us since near the beginning (when we were known at the market as the Dixie Cup tomato plant people!). Hard to believe but that was 15 years ago...we feel so fortunate that our plants have been a part of so many gardens for so many years.
We hope to see you on Saturday near the bakery tent in space 4 - I will get there at 8 AM or so, and will have a slew of special orders with me. There is a nice selection of hot and sweet peppers and eggplant (finally!). And tomatoes, of course...though we are starting to run low on a few varieties, and are totally out of a few. And the Mexico Midget and Coyote tomato varieties are not big enough....next week for those.
So, what was good at the market? we came home with some nice looking cucumbers, scallions, strawberries, kale, collards, asparagus (we love the purple variety), and Sue found a big bunch of beautiful beets. This haul of fresh produce inspired me to whip up a nice spring spaghetti dish using the scallions and beet greens we purchased today. Additional ingredients were garlic, olive oil, sweet onion, sweet pepper and zucchini, seasoned with salt, pepper, basil and hot pepper flakes....essentially a quick saute that we mixed with some cooked whole wheat spaghetti. Yum....we like beets, but just love the beet greens!
See you Saturday!
