I've got it good. If I want to stroll to a Farmer's Market on Saturday, I can walk through Prospect Park. If I want to stroll to a Farmer's Market on Sunday, I can walk through Ditmas Park -a neighborhood, not a park, but may as well be a park with houses. Seven years ago, when I moved to my neighborhood, on the opposite side of Coney Island Avenue from Ditmas, I wasn't aware of these luxuries.
On my walk, someone growing front yard corn.
On the way back, someone growing gobs of Black-eyed Susan, Rudbeckia hirta, cultivar unknown.
This weekend's bounty cost $16.05. Included are 4 orange and 4 red carrots, 1 red onion, 6 blue potatoes, 2 red potatoes, 3 white eggplant, 2 purple globe eggplant, 2 poblano peppers, 1 head of garlic, 2 ears of corn, 2 zucchini, and 1 heirloom tomato. We also got some turkey, cost 2.99lb and comparable to the Fairway turkey I bought a couple of weeks ago.
