Tubbs Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Yeah...they are excellent. Even the not-quite-ripe ones my son picked are good Late season this year from the March cold snap. Apparently peaches will be very good too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some guy was selling Georgia peaches off the back of a truck on Saint Mark's today. I don't think he realized what would happen to them on the way when they just bounce around the back of a trailer, so he was just sorting through them and given the injured one out for free. Expect peach vinegar based Foxface hot sauce in about a month. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Sour Cherries at Samascott today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 The GAP Greenmarket was weird this (by now it's yesterday) morning. At about 8 AM, there was no line at all at Blue Moon Fish. That I've never seen before. So I bought some, even though I hadn't been planning on it. Inside the main area, though, lines were very long at the more popular stands. I was one of the very last people let into the main area without a wait. Maybe people aren't thinking about eating fish over July 4th Weekend? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Line for Samascott was crazy this morning (it's always the longest line at the Columbia market) - went down as far the back of Butler Library on 114th street - for those of you who know the campus. Came home with sour cherries, Queen Anne cherries and blueberries. Also bought buttermilk at Hawthorne. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 There haven't been lines at usgm for many weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Lines at W. 97th street this morning as many folks came out early to avoid the impending rain. Obscene quantities of fruit bought. Gooseberries for a small batch of jab, 2 quarts of sour cherries which will be turned into jam as well. First plums of the season. But still no corn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Corn should start this week, we're getting some from nearby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I heard that Gajeski had some on Saturday. Thing is, I don't like the variety they grow - it's too chewy. Not crisp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Wow, mid-July and you're only getting corn now? That seems late even for NY/NJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 It's definitely late this year. We had a long cold spring, after an unusually warm winter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 And unusually few workers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
