Isn't it awful. we have a really small little one only a few miles from here. I did stop by yesterday morning and ended up feeling sorry for the venders so I picked up a couple of things: the one gal had 3 kinds of squash: med sized yellow zuk for .75 each; reg yellow for $1 each and the giant sized zukes for $1.00. Unless you want to stuff them, why would anyone buy the giant sized ones. there were a few cukes, a few peppers (whiched looked awful) and one gal was selling baskets of plums. I bought 2 baskets for $5.00 and will make plum butter this afternoon or tomorrow. They did have tomatoes as well, but I have enough tomatoes to last the rest of the summer. that is the one thing that did amazingly well this year.
Jlawrence: I agree, the prices are out of sight as a rule, but I do like to get a few things, the produce is so fresh..and if you have a reason to buy in bulk, and they have enough, you can get a pretty good deal..
