Farmers Market

Last week I was unable to go to our local farmers market because of parkville days. I was only slightly annoyed...I was really looking forward to more peaches fresh off the tree. Oh well. The local grocery store's were sufficient. This week I opted not to get peaches because I purchased nectarines at the store. I need to switch my shopping day back to Sunday so I can shop the farmers market first. 

Today I picked up a black diamond watermelon. I learned from talking to the lady selling it that they are rarely grown anymore because of the difficulty in growing them. She said her brother rose to the challenge and swears by these melons. Says they are the sweetest. And tells me if I don't think it is sweet to bring it back and get a new one. I thought that statement made it worthy of trying. If only they had them pre-chilled I could taste right away! 

I visited my same onion and tomato guy and picked up some raw honey as well.
