Signs of Autumn are appearing in the market in the forms of purple Italian plums, new apples, and grapes, but there are still plenty of beautiful tomatoes, beans, melons, squashes, corn, peaches, and greens. It is time to start picking up shelling beans from Berried Treasure, Cherry Lane, and Sycamore, to freeze for the winter. I also sometimes scrape corn into containers to keep for a midwinter Brunswick Stew. I'm also putting up heirloom tomatoes. If I were my grandmother, I'd be canning peaches as well.
Berried Treasures has flageolets, pink butter beans, and other shelling beans, as well as haricots verts, purple string beans, and heirloom tomatoes. Cherry Lane has good-looking lima beans, and Sycamore has cranberry beans and heirloom tomatoes. Oak Grove has peaches, heirloom tomatoes, peppers, and melons. Eckerton, Evolutionary, and others have heirloom tomatoes and Eckerton has unique hot peppers as well.
Windfall has beautiful zucchini blossoms, edible flowers, and a wide range of special greens and squashes. Paffenroth has their great array of delicious produce, with some interesting onion varieties, varicolored carrots, and many herbs, greens, and root vegetables.They also have bicolor corn, while Cherry Lane has white corn.
Fantasy Fruit is here with strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, and Berried Treasure has strawberries, wild blueberries, and blackberries.
