The recessional begins, with heirloom tomatoes and others being one of the first to end their season. Peppers are hanging on at many stands and grapes will still be here next week at Buzzard Crest.

Mountain Sweet Berry

Blueberries will be finished.  Sycamore still had corn today!  It was a bit crowded in the Greenmarket with tourists, marchers about something, and late waking shoppers, so some stands were two deep and hard to get through to.  It's a beautiful day and there are a lot of delicious vegetables and proteins all around the market.  Paradise for squash and pumpkin fans and lovers of Brussels sprouts!
