Food Notes

Capitol Market, etc.

Outdoors on the market, growers have green and yellow summer squash, pickling cucumbers, slicing cucumbers, half-runner beans, corn, cabbage, hot peppers, sweet peppers and all sorts of eggplants. Farmers are increasingly selling tomatoes they grew themselves, and the first locally grown heirloom tomatoes are coming to market. They are selling cantaloupes and watermelons they grow.

West Virginia peaches are in their second week at the market. Depending on the variety and depending on when they were picked and how long they are stored before sale, some will be better than peaches grown out of state and sold indoors at the Purple Onion and some not nearly as good.
