Heirloom tomatoes are finally affordable! Above are some green zebras, a garden peach, possibly a Cherokee purple, and I'm not sure what else.
Baby artichokes waiting to be fried in olive oil. Just when you thought I bought the same damned things every week, the season progresses.
An assortment of baby squashes dedicated to Ya-Jo (especially the round ones). Those little crooknecks are about the size of my pinky finger!
Sweet bell peppers.
These Marconi beans are some kind of heirloom miniature variety of romano-- just the opposite of the huge Spanish romanos we had a few weeks back. No peacock broccoli this week, and the farmer who sells this stuff has suddenly clamped up-- isn't as chatty as she was. I'm-- of course-- convinced that she hates me, but I'm also sure that this clamping up or whatever really has nothing to do with me.
As soon as I finished my photo shoot, the sun came pouring through the kitchen windows:
Not pictured: amaranth, fingerling potatoes, corn.

The duotone baby squashes look like couture pins in some sort of afternoon lawn game -- or am I still thinking of badminton?
I'd like one in 24 k gold and light-green patina'd copper, thank you! Actually, I'm so taken with the crooknecks that I'll need one of those as well.
Ereck:
You are such a sweet person.
Thank you but please don't show me cooked ones later.
