So my family has decided to try to be healthier and greener with the way we live. Planting a garden was one way we tried to combine both of those ideas. What better way to eat right and save the Earth then getting your food from your own backyard? This season it worked well. But alas, summer time in Florida is when most crops come to an end. Wanting to stay local, we decided to give the Saturday Morning Market in St. Pete a try. We loaded up our wagon with plenty of cloth bags and set out at 8:30.
When we got there, we were pleasantly surprised to see plenty of shade trees. Apparently this is the smaller summer home of the market. They had all kinds of vendors selling everything, from artisan bread to pottery to herbs and trees. We ended up with bananas, pineapples, strawberries, a loaf of tomato basil bread and two frangipani (plumeria) sprouts. The vendors were super friendly and helpful, and there was even a man playing a guitar up and down the rows for entertainment.
I can't wait to go back again! Judging from their list of vendors on their website, it looks like it is pretty scaled down during the summer months. I look forward to going back in the fall when the weather is cooler and there are many more vendors.
