As I was writing my post about the Union Square Greenmarket last night, I was thinking about all the photos that really should go with that particular post.
I was thinking, and thinking, and before I could even open PhotoShop, it became apparent that I really needed to just go to sleep. So I did. But that just means you get a two-posts-for-one deal, folks. It’s like that last 15 minutes at a farmers’ market, when all the farmers are trying to sell off their produce as quickly as possible so they don’t have to load it back in the truck.

Great photos! It makes me so hungry just thinking of fat carrots, beets, fresh cilantro and all that good market jazz!

Ginni, looking at the pics again was making me hungry, too. It was such a terrific market!

Hi Eugenia,
I’m the shepherd with the brightly colored merino yarn hanging in the Union Square Greenmarket from whom you bought lamb sauasge; I hope it pleased you.
I’ve been reading your blog for awhile and enjoy your confrontations with nature and your narrations of it.
When you get back to New York please come by the stand again and introduce yourself; I’ll give you some garlic to plant.
“What goes around, comes around.”
A grower in Canada gave me 300 lbs of several varieties of garlic (it got too cold for him to plant it up there) and we are looking for a weather window this week to plant it here in NYS in the composting sheep manure of last year’s Winter’s sheep quarters. Garlic likes sheep ;-)
My best to you, growing and writing…

I was there yesterday looking for seasonal greenery and got lots of good photos. Who knew there were so many varieties of beautiful potatoes?!

Lydia, me too, me too…
Eugene, thanks so much for stopping by — how exciting that you’re a reader! My friend and I loved the sausage — it was delicious (Hear that, readers? Go buy some of that sausage!).
xrisfg, the variety of every kind of produce there blew my mind — great stuff!
