EEk! Winter Squashes! Sweet Potatoes!! Grapes!! You know what's coming!

Fantasy Fruit has grapes along with their blueberries and apples. Tweefontein has several kinds of peppers along with herb drinks and other items. The hot peppers are IN in the market, with Eckerton and Oak Grove having the widest choice. A few stands, including Bodhitree and Paffenroth, have many kinds of winter squash in addition to their summer squash, signaling the arrival of Autumn. And the supply of heirloom tomatoes, while still fairly strong, shows signs of fading. There are still plenty of peaches, but that won't last much longer either. Locust Grove and Cherry Lane have raspberries -- better get those while you still can. Locust and others have grapes.

Bodhitree and Berried Treasures have squashes, beans, heirloom tomatoes, and other produce. Look for Romano beans among others. BerriedT also has Tri-Star strawberries and Mountain Sweet Berry has Italian sauce tomatoes and Tri-Stars as well. The shocker this morning for me was the huge range of winter squashes at Paffenroth's stand and the diminished supply there of baby beets! Miglorelli has a great deal of produce as does S&SO, but you know that October is about to come and crash the summer season. It's almost last gasp time!!
