Last Saturday the Farmers' Market was as busy as ever.
Though it was cool, it did not rain, and as there was no Oregon football game, the crowds descended on the market.
It's a good thing I'd had breakfast before coming to the market.
It certainly was not too early to be thinking about holiday gifts - wreaths, and chilies, and walnuts, and jewelry, and honey!
This time of year pumpkins and squash rule!
The Purple Heart radish were enormous!
There's lots of weird veg this time of year.
Sunchokes, Bok Choy, Romanseco, Celeriac, and Tomatillos.
Parsnips, lots of parsnips!
"Winter Luxury" are supposed to make awesome pumpkin pies.
Torpedo onions
Delicata squash
Dahlias and yet more dahlias.
The bold colors of autumn.
The Pacific NW is famous for pears (think Harry and David)
...and also apples. There were also persimmons and grapes.
Who can resist these delightful ornaments pumpkins?
A truly gorgeous post. I wish my dahlias did not get zapped by the frost.

I went to apple country here, and got a bushel of apples (mixed) and made 4 pies, lots of applesauce and two dozen muffins! Still have some just for eating! They are very tasty!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! I am loving your fall colors! I didn't know there were purple radishes--I've had purple potatoes, carrots, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts but not radishes!
