Peach colored peonies!! Lilacs! Lilies of the Valley! Old-Fashioned bearded irises!

James Durr has many peony varieties as well as irises, tulips, and other flowers.  River Garden has lilacs and lilies of the valley.  It's a flower-lover's paradise in the Greenmarket today!  If you like sweet purple asparagus, Hoeffner still had some when I left a few minutes ago.  Many stands have green asparagus and broccoli rabe.  D'Attolico and many others have young onions and garlic and several have ramps.  Eckerton has beautiful radishes and greens. Norwich Meadows has greens and root vegetables.

Three Corner Field Farm has sheep yogurt as well as lamb cuts and cheeses and Tonjes has goat's milk, yogurt, cheeses, and other goat milk items.  Violet Hill has chicken and duck eggs and Quattro's has pheasant, wild turkey, and chicken eggs.  Northshire also has chicken eggs as well as honey and various greens.  Mountain Sweet Berry has potatoes, potato chips, and ramps.

Stokes has a huge selection of herb, vegetable, and flowering plant flats, as do Van Houten, Oak Grove, Binder, Hodgson, Hoeffner, and others. Rose Meadow is having a sale on roses today and has anemones and other flowers.  Nemeth and Breezy Hill have pastries.
