I went to the Farmer’s Market this morning, and I was amazed at the varieties from the end of summer produce to the beginning of fall newbies. There were still the strawberries, peaches, tomatoes, melons and many of the fruits and vegetables I have been seeing this summer. In addition, the fall apples are here along with blueberries, and lots of good prices on corn on the cob. I love to see the colorful display of fresh fruit and vegetables along with fresh made bread, honey, eggs, wine, and nuts. It's fun to talk to the vendors about the different types of plums, pears, and peaches or hear the woman next to me show me the plums that are really sweet. Going with a friend is a nice way to compare which produce vendor we like best and how we use the vegetables.
When I got home I sorted through the fruit to see what was ripe and ready and which ones needed to sit for awhile. Seeing the bowls of assorted fruit and tomatoes was a delight to my eyes. I couldn’t resist eating some of the ripe ones as I was sorting.
September is Fruit and Veggies More Matters Month. It’s a great time to add more color to your plate with fruit and veggies. Fresh is best but all forms of fruit and veggies matter.
