The first weeks of the farmers market in Washington always feel like everyone’s still trying to wake up from hibernating all winter. We get a relatively late start, opening up in April, but by then, the tulips are in full force. On an otherwise gray day, there’s nothing like a burst of color to get you out of the blahs. Those are double tulips, by the way. They almost look like peonies, my other favorite flower.
I didn’t make it to the Tulip Festival this year…these are almost as good.
Greenland Tulips (maybe, had to google it).
Ayala Farms’ Washington Asparagus — woohoo!
Other than the tulips. there’s nothing I look forward to more in the spring than asparagus season.
Maximus Minimus truck – just for fun
Radishes…gorgeous, but I’m already tired of them. Bring on the peas and baby squash!
