That sounds like an orange alert for peaches. I better get some.

At Saturday’s Farmer’s Market one stand was selling strawberries that looked nice. (They were a little spendy though.) Heirlooms look like their slowing down a bit at Saturday’s market. We’ve been going every Sat. for about a month and this Saturday’s tomatoes weren’t as fresh and tasty.
We also picked up spinach, eggplants, beets, pluots, and these amazing heirloom Honeycrisp apples, and rhubarb!
