I can’t take my eyes off of all of the basil. I’m thinking we need to move to your area Cathy. Beautiful market.

They just don’t sell the patty pan squash around here and I love it! I have two plants in the garden, hope they do well:@)

I love squash. Sadly, it is now 157 thousand degrees in Phoenix and I can’t motivate for a farmer’s market.

Looks like you wouldn’t have to go to the grocery store much during FM season – it all looks so well presented and seems as though they have everything – except maybe meat.

Hi Larry – We do have a great selection of organic meats at the market: beef, pork, lamb, chicken and several fantastic booths that carry all kinds of seafood. Fresh meat can’t be sold so everything is cut, wrapped and frozen and kept in giant coolers. I don’t think to take photos of the booths because there isn’t anything to see, nothing sitting out on tables.

Love the photo of the garlic and squash together. Clever of them to present that way. You have such a great market, Cathy!

Well, I bought some callas, but at Lowes! We have nothing at the markets yet, too early.
Love your pics, beautiful!

I want the yellow patty pans so badly, they are my favorite summer squash! Don’t know why, but they aren’t sold where I live. I plant seeds every year but don’t have much luck. Your market looks like it’s thriving-enjoy:@)

It’s so interesting to see the different faces of farmer’s markets all around the country—your cherries definitely beat ours!
