Early Spring at Allemany

Saturday, March 4: the first Sungold tomato plants go into the pot. If they grow on schedule, the first delicious little gems will be ready to eat right around the time Plot and Duck go on vacation, so the tomatoes will rot on the vine and get eaten by tree rats. This is The Natural Order.

In early Spring the Allemany Farmer's Market is filled with familiar and not so familiar produce, like these quintzes and sweet lemons (note the Arabic writing).

Bottlenose Grapefruit? Said to be lucky?

Wild potatoes. They're covered with hairy, black roots.

Baby cauliflower, followed by baby broocoli.

And every kind of citrus fruit imaginable. These are from the Nasty Russian Lady.

And these are from the sweet Hmong lady. (Plotnik has no idea why these three sentences are being underlined. He's never been able to underline on Blogger before. )
