Stokes has ASPARAGUS!!!

Hoeffner, Miglorelli, and others also have asparagus. Spring is here! Of course, it's damp out there, but it was worth it to me to have the first beautiful green spears.  Cherry Lane will probably have some next weekend.

Several stands including Stokes, Van Houten, Binder, and others, have lovely herb and flowering potted plants and sets for home gardeners. Oak Grove has TOMATO PLANTS and small mixed herb gardens in pots.

Seatuck had live crabs, other shellfish, and fresh fish when I went by and PE&DD had lobsters in addition to fresh fish and other shellfish.

Other than that, we're still waiting for our favorite Spring vegetables, although I did see some delicious looking greens at Bodhitree. (Of course, I was a bit late today, so missed a lot at their stand.

The only news I have is good for Saturday shoppers -- Seatuck will be here, next to Quattro's, with their tasty fresh fish and seafood, this coming Saturday.

Otherwise, things are pretty much as they were last Wednesday.
