November 5, going to the farmers' market

.


The night of the 4th/5th was the coldest we've had since last spring.

Frosty.



The frost was interesting -- sugary.  Very square crystals.










Farmers' market.  Carrots and parsnips.



Cabbage.



Winter squash.



.
Peppers!




Black radishes, and I bet the white ones are daikon.

After I got home, I wondered why I didn't buy a black radish.  I always wonder what they look like inside, and what they taste like, but when I'm in picture-taking mode, it never occurs to me to just buy one and find out.  Maybe next time......



Greens that will be available all winter.

I have a feeling I would eat way way better if I lived where you are. ;-)

I need orange said...

Especially if your daughter lived at home and chivvied you out into the frosty morning to go to the market. :-)

Left to my own devices, I would be much more slothful..........

Sunflower shoots? That's new to me. We have sunflower shoots sprouting up EVERYWHERE thanks to Leonard (our ground squirrels). :) They're everywhere I tell you! :)

Black radishes... interesting. Our purple carrots were orange on the inside. :)

I'd never seen the sprouted sunflowers before, either. Beans, of course, and radishes, yes, but sunflowers? Maybe we'll have to try them some time.....

I still haven't cut the black radish. Our Saturday and Sunday were full of running around....

Maybe this evening. I am eager to see what it looks like inside. :-)
