They also have heirloom tomatoes, all sorts of eggplants, peppers, greens, and other tasty vegetables. Yuno has good looking heirloom tomatoes, mini eggplants, fairytale eggplants, various other eggplants, squashes, cut herbs, lettuces, and other greens and squash blossoms.Sycamore has corn today and will have it tomorrow, but no second load. This is a gap week and they won't have corn at all next weekend. They do have heirloom tomatoes, some cukumbers, and gorgeous basil today. Cheerful Cherry has heirloom tomatoes, serrano and jalapeno peppers, grapes, peaches, and peach juice.
