Earlier this week, I blogged about a new farmers market in downtown Fresno. I took my own advice this afternoon and visited the market – and what great advice it was!
I spent my lunch money on a carton of fresh, locally grown strawberries, a heaping carton of fresh cherries, and a half-quart of blueberries, picked yesterday in Caruthers. (I was told that the blueberries would be fresh for a week if stored in the refrigerator. They are so delicious that I don’t think I’ll find out how long they last – I’m going to devour them too quickly!)
It wasn’t until I’d gone on my produce-purchasing binge that I saw these beautiful sweet pea flowers (pictured below.) I only photographed them today, but I’ll be buying some next week – apparently the sweet pea season ends in just a week or two!
So, I again urge all you Fresno locals to check out the new farmers market. See you there next week?
The farmers market runs every Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in downtown Fresno, on Fulton Mall at Mariposa
