farmers market

FARMERS MARKET

here in texas i dont go to the farmers markets much because

several years ago i went to several and to several local

organic farms and observed what they were growing in 

each season 

i also talked to the farmers who was growing the stuff

i then tried to duplicate what they were doing

eg

right now i am growing okra malabar spinach barely tomatoes

bell peppers arugula and basil

everything else has shut down in my garden and also in many

of the farmers markets

however when we were in nicaragua we went to the ultimate

farmers markets

think rows and rows of fresh vegetables and fruits

all ran by friendly nicaraguans

 

they also had a great bean selection

for those of you who like beans

they are a good source of protein

and great producers of gas

we also ate at a local outside restaurant

which had delicious fresh fish either from the pacific

or from lake nicaragua one of the largest

fresh water lakes in the world

then there is this guy (ill change his name) 

that every calls greens bob

he is probably an old hippie from a well known liberal

university who has been in nicaragua for years and 

has not ever gone back to the usa

he grows organic salad greens and sells them to local 

restaurants in the area

locals can buy from him if you can find his place

so we went there to his place

felt like i was in an old movie

there along the small streets in this town there was a row

of buildings all connected together was

a green building with a blue door with no markings on it

my relatives said thats his place

we knocked and knocked and finally someone answered

felt like we were on some clandestine mission

we were only buying salad greens

inside there is the living area with open courtyards

where he sells his greens

they weigh it out and you buy it

yes it was salad greens nothing illegal

then as we were leaving there was a mirror with this 

on it 

those ron paul supporters will like this one

yep great fish great farmers market and great salad greens

wonder if greens bob votes in the us
