First a news item you city folks might find interesting... A 22 year old man was arrested in Canton (which is further upstate than we are so we can't claim him) for stealing 7 calves. He managed to squeeze all 7 of them into the back seat and trunk of his 2000 Dodge Neon.
Back to the market... Our regional produce market is in Syracuse and has all sorts of wonderful things. For a gardener it's like taking a restaurant owner to a restaurant. You want to have one of everything just to see what the competition is doing. However, I did show a certain level of restraint and ONLY bought locally grown peaches, red pears and apples (oh yes, and some lettuce). Aren't the peaches beautiful? Why commercial growers think they have to "de-fuzz" peaches for the stores is beyond me. The fuzz makes them look like something out of an old master's painting. (And then there were the green beans which I just remembered buying...)
