Spring is zooming by so quickly. It seems that just yesterday (but it was the end of April) we had a snowstorm, but today, it's 90F (32.2C) as I blog, and is still going up.
Spring is going by so quickly that I had photos from April of our local farmer's market, and hadn't even used them on my blog yet. These first three photos are from April 22 (first photo) and April 30 (next two).
By May 7, some of the vendors (this is a year round market) had moved outdoors. We call these plants on the right "scallions" in our part of New York State. Other parts of the country call them spring onions, green onions, or even salad onions. On the left is spring garlic, which is quite edible before it starts forming bulbs.
Leaf lettuce (this is so fresh, too.) We have lettuce planted but it is nowhere near ready.
Most of the May 7 produce is still available, but it won't be long until strawberries are ready. My hanging basket everbearers (overwintered in the garage) are flowering.
I have so much to show you but it would be overwhelming. But, as I leaf through photos taken in May, it brings back so many memories of how quickly spring is moving this year.
Is this season (be it spring or fall) moving too quickly for you?
...it's wonderful to see fresh produce starting to appear at the markets.
ReplyDeleteSpring really has moved quickly! Just for the past two days it's been sunny and warmish. Not as warm as you, but next week we should be near 90. Less than a month and it will be summer, so I guess there won't be much spring really. I finally planted my pepper plants outdoors. There was frost the other morning though. Those scallions seem expensive! I grow Welsh onions, which I believe are part of the spring onion clan. Bunching onions.
ReplyDeleteYes it is moving along but still cool here:)
ReplyDeleteNice fresh veggies
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Personally, I'm ready for summer, but more in the sense of having time off. The spring has rushed by and dragged, both at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve just helped me make my shopping list
ReplyDeleteThat all looks great! I always loved a farmers' market.
ReplyDeleteThe joy of living where I do in Vietnam, the fresh-market is open year-round! Not everything is available year-round, but I always by my fruits and vegetables (and meat) fresh, never packaged.
