Hot DAMN, it's getting good at the farmers' market! Today, my favorite strawberry vendor showed up for the first time this season; moreover, the cherry folks had peaches and nectarines in addition to their stellar apricots. Fresh figs are a couple weeks away, fresh basil is making an appearance, favas are abundant, rhubarb's still strong, asparagus continues its trajectory -- yes, I'm a giddy girl this evening. :-P

Where are you in this big wide world? I usually go to a Wednesday market too, in Carlsbad. This week I missed it because my daughter had a concert, so now I have to go to the smaller one in Oceanside to tide me over til Sunday when I go to Hillcrest. These are all in San Diego County.
I'm thinking with all this warm sunny weather, the strawberries should be nearing phenomenal at my favorite stand too! 😉

Hmmm... "Hello, produce market? Do you have any rooms available?" 🙂

Just so you know -- I hate you. Really. I do. What's your plan for the aps, cherries, and other stone fruits? Will you preserve any? It would be wrong if you didn't make some apricot butter. Just wrong. And if you're not into preserving (canning) and want info, ask at rec.food.preserving. There's only about three people here who know anything about it.

Where is the Carlsbad market? I'll be there visiting my mom in early July, and while I won't be there on Wednesday, my sisters will be there a longer time and might be interested in the market.

Our farmers market is today and, as you say, the variety of stuff is increasing. I got strawberries, haricots verts, artichokes, fat green onions, and grapefruit. Not sure why I passed up the cherries, both Bing and Rainier White -- the samples were delicious. -aem

Oh, and next time you ought to get those cherries . . .

Right near Carlsbad Village drive and Jefferson. Easy to find, not as easy to park 😉
