At the end of July I showed you what was in season and on sale in Union Square's Green Market.
I had the idea to make four seasonal visits to showcase each season's produce and wanted to post this in October, but the weather has been so mild that there was a distinct lack of Fall produce, rather it was late Summer produce... Now, however, there is a difference in the produce available - take a look...
All kinds of pumpkins, large and small for a pie or decoration.
Leafy 'greens' like kale and chard in vibrant hues.
Classic autumn/winter vegetables such as Brussels sprouts (still on their stalks) and sweet potatoes.
Something more unusual...Kohlrabi or Cape Gooseberries.
Small spicy peppers and the freshest ginger you ever did see!
And meanwhile if you still fancy a pie there are apples and pears galore!
And finally whilst there may not be summer blooms there are oddly shaped gourds for your table and chrysanthemums for your stoop!
I love the rich colors of Autumn don't you? you can find schedules for NYC's Green Markets at grownyc.org
