Today I bought a dahlia bouquet, rainbow chard, radishes and sunny yellow zucchini. You can see them in these photos.
The Saturday before Fathers Day I also bought purple kohlrabi and lavender color radishes and home made horseradish mustard, a surprise for my husband for Fathers Day.
I like kohlrabi so much I bought some two weeks in a row; I peel it and eat it like an apple. It is good plain or with a little salt and is especially delicious when purchased from a farmers market, where it is freshly harvested.
All organic and grown locally. A feast for the eye and soul, and the veggies are tender and fresh.

To have a farmers market so close! Lovely! Enjoy for me, too! Linda@Wetcreek Blog
Yum! I need to figure out what market is open when. There is one somewhere almost every day, I think. You've inspired me!
I love shopping at a farmer's market. Wonderful to get fresh fruits and veggies!
A feast for the eye and soul, indeed. Your purchases are beautiful. Once we get our book to the printer I plan to get to the farmers market once in a while, too.
Would so love a nearby farmer's market. I could also sell things from my garden and eggs.
It is such a delight to have a farmer's market nearby. Everything you purchased looks great.
Nothing better than fresh veggies!
Don't you just love Farmer's Market?
Nothing quite like a good farmers market. They are plentiful in my part of the world and our chosen place to shop also. Your purchases look wonderful!
Farmer's markets are wonderful and another reason that I love living in the country.
I love the farmer's market's too, and how lucky that you have one so close--I have to confess, I've never had kohlrabi, and will have to try it!
Enjoy your wonderful produce and your weekend!
Looks good. Lots of colors. Our market was too rainy today which is fine. We need the rain. No one is complaining. Love kohlrabi too. I just eat it raw.
Hi Terra....Well, at least you have a healthy addiction! Everything looks wonderful. Don't you just LOVE farmers markets? Susan
Such nice colorful, healthy looking food.
We have a farmers market in town on Friday evenings during the summer but I've never been to it because I was doing other stuff. I think I'll make the effort this coming summer.

I love going to the Farmer's Market. You found some good things to eat!
Hi Terra - all looks so good - and the kohlrabi I must try raw .. I've seen it eaten that way, but never tried it .. I'll give it a go.
Our farm shop and grow your own is about 20 minutes away .. but I can walk around once I get there ..
Looks a wonderful addition to where you live .. cheers Hilary
Aren't you the lucky gal to live so close to all the yumminess. I wish I enjoyed veggies & fruits more and perhaps I would if I could get them fresh.
Wow that's so special to have a farmers market on your doorstep. I love to visit them too.
Gorgeous healthy looking produce photographed beautifully Terra...thanks for sharing even though unfortunately we can't taste them ;D
Food for the soul, indeed! Love chard but never heard of the rainbow type...will have to be on the lookout. Vickie
looks good and so colorful....
I do not know what a kohlrabi is. I hope I get to try it someday. The dahlias are gorgeous!...Christine

Beautiful pics.Terra :) Any time I see such fresh farmer's market goodies I'm always inspired to eat healthier.Oh the flowers are of course gorgeous.
# minutes from your home?! How fortunate! I love the flowers they have and of course all the fresh veggies! :)
Wow.... never thought vegetables could be so colourful.
Thanks for asking about your comment, no, it did not come through, a pity because it sounds as though you said some nice things.
I also augment my garden produce at our Farmers' Market although it is a 35 min. drive away, it is such a nice country drive.
I like your blog.
How wonderful!
I love farmers' markets. I wish we had them here. The fruits and veggies look so fresh....Christine
Terra,
I love getting fruits and vegetables at the Farmer's Market too. How nice that it's only a few minutes from your house. My dad liked chard and my mom would cook it sometimes.
I hope you are enjoying the summer days.
love,
~Sheri
