The French call it the "rentre", the return, but I call it the recessional, when fruits and vegetables begin to disappear with the change of season. We still have heirloom tomatoes (Norwich and Yuno) today, along with squashes, eggplants, beans, sweet and hot peppers, edamame, husk cherry tomatoes, beautiful salad greens and herbs, but carpe diem, folks! Seize the day! There's an Autumn feeling in the air despite the sun and warmth.
Newfield has the last of their lycianthus this week and there are fewer bouquet options at River Garden's stand. Red Jacket has lots of plums, including delicious purple Italian plums for pies and cakes, but their summer fruits are definitely disappearing. Fantasy Fruit has blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and honey, but say they'll soon be vanishing into memory. Norwich has raspberries as well, but it's time to grab the moment!
