You live where it's warm though. I think I have seen them perhaps in small
quantities during the summer. And the farmer's markets here would for sure
not have them as they do not grow here. The farmer's markets here are also
not a good place to buy vegetables. The one only ever has one small stand
of veggies and they are past their prime. They sell a lot of flowers,
clothing, jewelry, more like a street fair.

The other one at Country Village was larger and had more veggies but I
didn't see a thing that I couldn't get at a place like Central Market and
the prices at the store are much cheaper.

We have a very short growing season here. I quit trying to grow veggies.
Some years I got enough crops to make it worth it but mostly, no. But I
only have room for Earth Boxes.

My friend who lives more towards Sultan on a farm that is over 100 years old
has better luck but she has a lot more growing space and gets more sun than
we do here.
