off to the market...buying fresh and local!

DT went loco at the local farmer's market early this am...fresh corn called "Fantasia"...sweet and just picked...beans...pork tenderloin...adding herbs to my boxwood bordered herb garden (garlic chives and mint). As most of you know, I never post on weekends, but I just could not wait to share the pics...everywhere the color and excitement...very lively and everyone so pleasant...not like the super market at all!
And a stop by to chat with my Boxwood buddy...he has the BEST English Boxwoods in this part of the state.
And a new variety of Hydrangea...at least to me...takes full sun.
So buy local when you can (we all have to make the Costco run), and enjoy the bounty of Summer!
