are likely at your farmers market now, if you live in CenTex & they are gooooooooood! Like the melon this year, I wonder if all this hot & dry hasn’t concentrated the flavor in some of our local produce & made for a good season for some edibles at least.
I hear some folks in other parts of the country complain about the prices at their farmers markets & I feel quite lucky. We bought two big dinners worth of hatch peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, yellow onion and eggplant for around $10.00 this week.
Also, we had Jeff Rodgers of Margarita Gardens give a great talk on basic gardening tech for our area, including showing off some plants than can handle the Texas sun just fine.
I like the idea that farmers markets can become a place not just to support local artisans & growers, but to share information & ideas and to build real community, so I give a definite thumbs up to the Pflugerville Farmers Market for inviting Jeff to speak.
