This was my favorite stand.
It had the prettiest design…
And also – the best costumes.
At first I didn’t know what this vegetable was.
I thought maybe they were exotic carrots.
Or petite beets.
Or tiny red rutabagas!
But then I read the sign.
“Radishes” it said.
Sometimes I have a tendency to over think things a little bit.
Hey! I told you it was exciting!
Happy Fourth of July!


















Yum! Your pickin’s were much more plentiful than mine! I think the sheer size of those radishes is what threw you. That olive oil tin looks pretty vintage….until you read the “No Cholesterol” sign. : )
Wow, that all looks so good. Mr. Kay in KCMO and I used to be frequent denizens of the city market in KC on Saturday mornings. Then it dawned on us that hardly anyone actually grew what they were selling; they were just unloading shipments from produce distributors. We haven’t been back in years. It looks like the vendors in Manhattan actually grew their own stuff.
Kay in KCMO, check out the Merriam Farmer’s Market. Their merchants sell all locally grown fruits and veggies.
And, there’s a great stand at 74th and Metcalf in Overland Park, right in the lot at the Christian college there. The couple who runs the stand have a farm in Gardner, KS, and they sell Monday-Saturday. They have the best corn right now, as well as tomatoes, peaches, and the green beans should be coming in soon!
