What's in season right now? Here's as look at what we brought to the Grants Pass Growers' Market for Saturday July 20th. Except for the items that required curing or drying (such as garlic and poppy seeds), everything was harvested in the 24 hours prior to market.
2.5 pounds of lettuce mix
11 heads of Jericho romaine lettuce
7 bunches of kale (purple, Toscano, & Siberian) & 2 bunches of Swiss chard
Many, many pounds of potatoes (fingerlings, blue, Yukon Gold, & Yellow Finn)
17 bunches of carrots
12 kohlrabi
4 dozen chicken eggs
6 purple cabbage
11 bunches of Chioggia beets
40 bunches of basil (Genovese, Mammoth, Bolosso, & lemon)
9 bunches of parsley
24 bunches + 10 pounds of onions (Purplette, Torpedo, & bunching)
8 tromboncino squash
6 pints of plums
22 ounces of poppy seeds
Lots of garlic (Music, Spanish Roja, & elephant)
Flowers (calendula, French marigold, oregano, & sunflower)
And a partridge in a pear tree! Wow! What a lot of beautiful produce! And hard workers who get it picked and ready for market so quickly. Hope the shoppers sent you home with an empty truck and smiles all around.
