After a day and a half or rain, we have partly sunny skies this morning. What a delight to find out that our papaya guy is now growing bananas in his greenhouse.  We tasted one of them, and it was ambrosial.  It was what we remembered as the distinct taste of bananas!

Baby bok choy was the feature at the Oriental/ Asian stand this morning. This is delicious stir fried  with garlic, ginger and soy sauce.

The color of these beets is nicely contrasted with the royal blue cloth, and their greens.

 

Wishing you all lots of Saturday Smiles!

Ron and Alexandra- I love it all!!!  We managed to make a short trip to our Farmer's Market today and had to refrain from buying everything we saw.

We won't have any farmers market available to us for quite some time yet. I enjoy seeing all your fresh produce!

I love bananas. When I was a kid the neighborhood grocer once said that if I quit eating bananas the bottom would drop out of the market.

My town just opened a winter farmers market in the main firehouse this year, which is nice for farm fresh eggs, but if you asked if they had no bananas, you might hear, "Yes, we have no bananas.  We have no bananas today!"

Kathy Streib Both Ron and I have to exercise restraint when we go to the market.  We are prone to buying more than we need at time...our new best thing is freshly made pecan butter.  We love that smeared on an apple.  A

Alexandra, The beets look wonderful and are good for you to eat. But then again everything at your Famer's Market looks wonderful.

I looked for the sugar cane juice today but no cigar so far.

Hi Alexandra and Ron -- it's only appropriate that today's Farmer's Market discoveries are reminiscent of a rainbow.  Have a dry Saturday/Sunday and then it's back to more puddle avoidance.

There's a rainbow of colors in those fruits and vegetables, Alexandra.  Love the look of the papayas.  I don't believe I've ever seen bananas at our local Farmer's Market.

Such colorful veggies today. The radishes look good and add a nice touch to any salad. Not a fan of papaya but the bananas look good.
