Ah, last weeks at the farmer's market can surely signal the end of summer. Thankfully on this past Saturday we were able to locate many summer favorites still, though some were being touted as the "last of the summer". Our market harvest included:
1. fantabulous looking (and tasting, simply steamed them last night with dinner) green beans,
2. a bag of fresh peaches (one of the "last of the season" items),
3. fresh garlic (two different kinds, a long stem hard that is supposedly more potent, proof to come, and your standard italian variety),
4. peruvian purple fingerling potatoes (roasted with fresh garlic and rosemary last night, very pretty with some reds thrown in as well),
5. a handful of lovely banana peppers that are destined to become renenos in the next few days if all goes as planned ($.10 each, can you really say no to that?), and
6. a mini apple pie that was SO good (and we got samples which led us to buy it, yeah for samples!) from Geogia's Pies.
The folks also grabbed up some corn (Michiganers... no corn like Illinois corn to be had there already). There was no banana bread to be found by the time we got there unfortunately, which was one thing I went looking for specifically. Oh well, guess I'll have to make some at home this week.
I'm lamenting the impending loss of the market and my veggie share already (only four weeks left of the share). Did I ever mention I'm not much a fan of winter in general?

I've missed the market for weeks now, and will miss this weekend too! I'm feeling quite panicky about it; back to (yuck!) grocery store veggies for the next 6 months.
