Farmer’s Market

Here’s my haul from Wednesday’s FM trip:

From last week, I had a melon, some strawberries and a few apples leftover. This week, I spent about $35 and got 2 more melons, grapes, berries, kale, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, a couple more apples and pears. Everything is organic except the melons and grapes, but as I mentioned last week, I always wash the outside of the melon before cutting it and the farmer who was selling the grapes said he doesn’t spray. When I asked him about it he said “oh no, I use praying mantises and spiders.” And then I saw a giant spider the same color as the grapes crawling on the side of his scale. LOL I trust him. The grapes are really delicious, too.
To store the berries, I did the same technique as the strawberries. Simply put them in a tupperware container once you get them home and refrigerate. Only wash them when you’re ready to eat them.
This is probably more than I would buy and keep on hand normally, but I want to have a pretty stocked fridge just in case I go into labor sometime in the near future. Today is my due date and I’m still pregnant.
