11/4/12 Wednesday marked the last day for my favorite farmer's market sales---some folks had already called it quits. The "chestnut lady" was there selling the nuts harvested from the grounds of the Botanic Garden---now there's a labor intensive event, & I couldn't resist touching that brown prickly shell.
Enjoy my final "visual" harvest bounty---I can affirm that the foods were as good as they looked. My tomato sandwich, slathered in Helmanns, was so juicy that it dribbled all down my chin.
Oh how I'm gonna miss my fresh veggies. The yearly anticipation makes the summer bounty that much tastier!
Gourds---just colorful eye candy |
Season has long past for the morels but the portobellos, shiitakes ,
oysters and chanterelles were available.

What color---looks good enough to eat and they were. |
Only thing added to this meal was some cornbread. |
