We've been enjoying radishes from our garden all this week.
The lettuces, spinach, and arugula have a ways to go yet.
So today we walked to the opening day of the Downtown Des Moines Farmer's Market. It took us about 40 minutes to walk there and a little longer to get home.
I picked up several nice bunches of lettuce for $1 a bag, some fresh mint for tabouli, greenhouse grown tomatoes, and some of the first strawberries of the season.
We ate breakfast at a neat little coffee shop, too. A fun treat since we've been keeping tight reins on our spending.
Our carrots are doing well, though it will be quite a while before they're ready to harvest.
The rest of the garden is going in today, but we plan to continue to frequent farmer's markets throughout the summer and fall.
It felt really good to walk there and back (though the walk there felt much better than the walk home!)
Fresh strawberries and cream are on tonight's dessert menu for sure.

Amazing pictures once again. I grow lot of food here but the farmers market is always fun to visit. Glad you enjoyed your day:)
Thanks! It was a beautiful day here, but really muggy. I'm looking forward to walking downtown again next week.
