The market was nice today, lots of variety out there. Asparagus at many locations, with one stand having white asparagus (they had sheeting up to have it in the shade). A number of places had artichokes, but I had a hard time finding any cauliflower–i think that season is winding down. Still plenty of citrus out there, with many lemons and tangerines at multiple stands. I tried to buy Perfection tangerines, like I did last week, but they were out so I picked up some tangelos instead. There were a few stands with blood oranges as well. Lots of carrots, snap peas, brussel sprouts, beets and still plenty of dark greens in the stalls, and many places had strawberries. I picked up asparagus, broccoli, grapefruit, tangelos, strawberries, spinach, sugar snap peas, apples, and a few chermoya to try.

I had a good star sighting, I saw Jennifer Garner and her kid, Violet Affleck. She is really cute, but the annoying paparazzi were around trying to get photos running around like crazy people. They are really gross, I felt bad for the mom and baby just trying for a market day.
