There were blackberries the size of small potatoes at the farmers market today. Needless to say, I had to get some. They are so much sweeter than any blackberry I can remember.
And another score today — purslane. In the U.S. most people consider it a weed, but purslane is eaten like any other green in many parts of the world. I first read about it early this spring and have been on the lookout for it since. Unfortunately, I wasn't really sure what it was or what it looked like. But I finally lucked out today. I went to visit Vandalia Farms for Edible WOW and they were weeding out the purslane from the rest of the garden beds. I snagged a huge bag to take home. Eaten straight from the field, it was delicious and I can't wait to make it into a salad tonight.
