The voluptuous pepper kisses the side of the aqua bucket while it rests patiently, along with its fellows, waiting for an eager customer or a painter's brush.  Up close and personal at the outdoor market.

The sweetest tomato you'll ever have, the Sungold, not only tastes delicious but, as they ripen on the vine, look like jewels, selected for their carefully modulated color.

I would like to sing the praises of growing lettuce.  I have been having a big salad for lunch every day for 3 months from my small garden of lettuce.  I think this is "Red Gem" ( I threw away the seed packet), which is not only delicious but beautiful.  If you haven't tried growing these tasty treats, give it a whirl.   All lettuce is easy to grow - plant it in the shade in this weather.  It doesn't like the heat.  I still have some that is quite tasty however as it is shaded by some large squash plants.  Lettuce from the garden is much more tender than what comes from the super market.  The varieties needed to withstand packing and long sessions waiting for customers are not what you can plant in your home garden and the difference is delicious.
