Last Market Post of the Season

I’m back at The Pumpkin Patch today, so I wanted to share the photos I took last week. This is a serious farmer’s market!

Oh, the gourds are so lovely. Thanks to all your helpful comments on the last market post, I’m happy to report that I cooked an acorn squash last week! It was super tasty – I used this recipe.

I also scored one of these bad boys – brussels sprouts on the stalk! I haven’t had sprouts in a long time – K. hates them. But after trying these, he came around. They’re soooooo tasty.

…And they have Moon Pumpkins! Around 100 pounds each. Wow.

Just to give you a sense of scale. You cannot believe how heavy this thing is. But the little kids totally love sitting on it for pictures.

We’ll be out there today and next weekend. Locals, if you’re in the area, stop by and say hello.

Oh – and I guess that means this year’s Farmer’s Market Flickr set is now completed.
