Union Square Farmers' Market

I still have blisters from yesterday, and taping band-aids over them do not help! Woes. Also, buying two liters of juice was probably not the best of ideas, given walking to and from the subway and aforementioned blisters

I love heirloom tomatoes so much. I need an heirloom tomato icon...

[oyceter]

Tomatoes! Made of win!

You would like NH, then

We have lots of people doing heirloom tomatoes up here, and heirloom other things too (not so much heirloom apples yet, unfortunately, but that's being worked on.)

One of my best farmers' market experiences was getting heirloom blackberries from 150-year-old blackberry canes - the farm's been continuously in existence growing and sell fruits for that long!

I feel Food Network should do a show based entirely on farmers' markets around the country and/or world. They would have an audience of me!

And me! Unfortunately, the little farmers' markets around here aren't very good, and I never have time to go over to Pike Place Market. It's not all farmers, but they have special farm days during the summer.

I got seven pluots in my organic fruit box today! (They're from California, though; I've rarely been able to find local ones.)

Eeeee pluots! I had apriums for the first time last week in CA and they are really amazing.

New Yorkers, you can start mocking me oh, say, starting from last week.

*chuckles*

Distinct seasons! They are strange and baffling!

If the blisters have attained the full of fluid stage, you can drain them with a sterilized needle and dress with bandaids and antibiotic salve or some such.

[oyceter]

I, uh, think I accidentally popped one while walking today. Siiiiiigh.

[oracne]

At least they feel better afterwards...

Bandages with salve are supposed to make them heal faster.

Huh. We have pluots up here, and had them in Maryland last week, even though I couldn't eat any due to flu (sigh). So I don't see why they shouldn't exist in NYC, which is pretty much directly between the two.

[oyceter]

Oh huh, I have no idea!
