Farmers' Market Visit

We don’t end up buying food at the Farmers’ Market very often, since good, organic produce is available at the Coop along with whatever else we need. Today, though, I biked over there after a retirement party to find some bread, some blackberries, and some peaches (the peach tree outside the kitchen window has finished bearing but I’m used to eating them now and wanted some more).

I ran into three people I know, which is normal: Susan of bicycle and Vet Med designer fame; Wave of Commencement fame; and Anita the poet-cum-fiddler, which was great. (I didn’t know Anita had taken up the fiddle.)

And I was asked to fill out a survey about whether the Yolo Master Gardeners should grow a vegetable garden on B Street. do you have a garden? Do you consider yourself a beginner? Oh yes. But now with my lettuces and squashes starting to overflow, I’d have to say I’m hooked.

This is fun! Who knew?

  1. Missing you! Would be fun to “bump” into you at Farmer’s Market. Glad to hear your garden is doing so well!

    Love,

  2. Farmers’ Market on Wednesday evening was a regular haunt of mine, and one my favourite things about Davis – I just loved the feeling of belonging to a community it invoked. Children playing in the fountain, live music of decidedly variable quality, the continual struggle to eat the Buckhorn tri-tip sandwich without making a terrible mess with the horseradish sauce and caramelised onions – those were the days!

    Holy moly! Already? I am impressed.
