Second week of the farmer's market.
Last year it either poured on Sundays or it was blisteringly hot.
This year has been lovely, as you may have seen from my photos. It was cloudy and mild today.
I came home with bulging (reuseable canvas) grocery bags about noon.
I stripped and blanched about 6 pounds of leafy greens, and they are in the freezer in the same bags as the ones I processed last week.
There are 2-3 pounds of cabbage freshly salted down for German style sauerkraut. I'll decant them and freeze them next week keyn ahora.
I still have to make pickled beets and turnips. There's be a beet in with the turnips to make them turn pink.
The strawberries are still a little young but I should be buying a couple of quarts in the next couple of weeks to gobble up and make into jam. Looking forward to blueberries, too. And cherries. And peaches. Slurp!
And most of the summer still ahead of me.
