1. Beautiful, Peggy! Love the bright colors!

All are fabulous, but I can’t help but love the flowers!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog! ♥

Yeah, the flowers really did it for me too. Bright colors are so damn good. Yeah.

But I also love the textures of the edible things.

3. Those are great photos Peggy!

And so wonderful that you still have a farmer's market going! Looks like some great stuff to buy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thanks so much, my dear Callalily!

We've had this market for some time, and it runs year round. In fact, most of the cities nearby have them, normally weekly.

This is very typical for the area. I went to this one since the market I usually frequent is on Thursdays!

Between buying yummy veggies and taking photos, I had a ball today!

4. Looks delicious

Those yellow gooseneck squashes making me want fried squash.
Mmmmm.

And the flowers and lettuce are beautiful.

6. I plan to stir fry some of the squash with a chopped onion tonight as a side dish.

It's delicious and quite easy!

Thanks for your lovely comments, my dear I_UndergroundPanther!

7. Now I crave squash worse

That sounds so good.

Warming for a cold evening like tonight.
I hope I got a can of seasoned squash in my cabinet.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. It IS good, and I hope you have some in your cabinet!

I always cook the onion first since it's tastier when it's completely cooked. And the squash doesn't take very long.

9. If you have any left over, try squash fritters

Southern wonderful!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. I have never made, or eaten a fritter!

Maybe you could tell me what they are, and how to make them?

[Bayard]

23. I make them the way my Mom and Grandmothers always did

Although, in googling, I see a lot of people adding other things.

Take your leftover cooked squash and mash it lightly with a fork (you can also use fresh if you nuke it a few minutes, and drain). Mix together with a little milk, and just enough flour to hold it together. Add a little salt, and lots of pepper. Fry on both sides in vege oil till golden brown and crispy. Have to eat them hot, before they get soggy.

24. That sounds wonderful and delicious too. Thanks for the recipe, my dear Bayard! ♥

14. Now,

that is some mighty fine looking Swiss Chard. It's never that pretty at our local supermarket.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Thank you for your lovely comments, my dear BlueSky3!

They were pretty dark in the market, but I might have used a bit of vignetting to achieve this result!

15. Very nice - good eye

What did you use? Camera? Cell Phone?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thank you, my dear packman!

I've been told I have a good eye.

I just got a new Olympia E-M10 Mark IV for my birthday, and I'm practicing with it. It's quite different from my Nikon D3200.

16. Delicious!

Thank you, Peggy-- wonderful as always!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thanks so much, my dear evolves! Glad you like my photos.

And I especially appreciate that you think they're wonderful!

17. Good Food!

Having some squash for dinner by gosh!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thanks so much, my dear Tom Kitten!

We had some too -- stir fried with a chopped onion. Sooo good.

25. I sauteed mine

Two small summer squash like in your photo and two zucchini.
I sauteed them in a bit of olive oil and then added a little marinara sauce. Yum!

I also like the flowers. Love African daisies! I had a salmon colored one but it got covered up by all this mint when I wasn't looking.

26. 4th photo on the right, is that a green squash that looks blue?

Maybe it is reflecting the sky or something.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. It's a little round squash that looks rather like a zuccini.

I do see what you're looking at. I don't think it was out from under the roof covering, but it's possible that it's reflecting the sky.

Good eye!
