RE: PAPA TRAVELS - To The Wisconsin Rapids Farmers Market

in #food8 years ago

Nice photos and story. I really liked seeing the Giant Kohlrabi, fingerling potatoes, winter squash, groundcherries, and the variety of eggplants. It will be interesting to see if you have any mature seeds in the eggplants. Usually they are best for eating before the seeds mature. But maybe you will be letting them ripen up in a warm spot, like peppers or tomatoes.

I wonder if that Farmer's Market has a local-grown policy. Some don't and the produce is questionable. It looks to me like yours is all local, including the flowers. All those flowers are autumn bloomers that would do well in Wisconsin -- dahlias, strawflowers, celosia, baby's-breath, statice, nigella, gayfeather. I don't see any flower that's out of place for that market. They probably would have given you some baby's-breath, haha, once they heard you've got another kid on the way. : )

Sort:  

Your wealth of knowledge is impressive.

And I appreciate the joke about the baby's-breath too!

I was impressed with those flowers. The growers did a nice job in selecting plants that didn't clash in their colors. Here in Oregon's Willamette Valley, there are farms that specialize in locally grown florist material and others have flowers as part of their U-pick fruit and vegetable operations. Gotta love the flowers, too! : )

Yeah, plus flowers can attract the pollinators.
