Farmer's Market


So, here in the south, the harvest season is a little different. On Oct 3, when most of the markets up north are shutting down for the year, ours just opened up. Yup, yesterday was the first day of Saturday market in St. Petersburg. We bought a ton of fresh produce and sampled one of the local treats: a mini key lime pie.
We also learned that the end of October is the time to plant tomatoes and start your garden. Huh. Who knew. There is also a farm share outside of Tampa that we might join...
pretty excited!

  1. It's time to plant tomatoes? What a strange land you're living in. Does the moon revolve around the sun there?

  2. Bizzaro land. If you live there long enough I imagine you'll get in tune with the natural growing season, the signs of the seasons, and the cyclical migration of retirees. he he he.
