Seldom-seen sunset lighting should lean toward common as we near the winter months. The Seasonal Walk seems all the more dramatic with the sun signing off for the evening.

I know it’s hard to wait an entire week between visits to the Greenmarket. Your crisper drawer dips below “stuffed” into “somewhat full” territory and you start wondering what you’ll do for your next vegetable soup, salad, or ratatouille niçoise. Lucky for you, it’s almost Wednesday! We’ll be back tomorrow with our local farmer friends, offering plenty of options for refilling your stock of fresh, late-summer edibles.
This week, expect plenty of apples, pears, plums, melons, tomatoes and peaches, along with some fresh Concord grapes ripe for snacking. On the vegetable front, we expect to see another wave of piquant peppers, including jalapeno, cayenne, and sweet varieties. You should also see corn, tomatillos, herbs, beets, cabbage, and no end of varied baked goods. Something tells me there could be some Mexican-inspired dishes in your future if you know how to mix and match your produce picks, but that might just be my lunch cravings talking.
The NYBG Greenmarket runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Wednesday through November 27, with free short-term parking for Greenmarket shoppers. The market accepts food stamps, EBT, WIC/FMNP, and Senior coupons, in addition to cash and credit or debit cards. Learn how to use EBT, WIC and FMNP at the Greenmarket.

I’m thoroughly convinced there aren’t enough confectionery yellows in our Morning Eye Candy series. I’m sure some readers will disagree.

As I hear it, komorebi is the Japanese word for the way the sunlight filters through the treetops. Now if only I could slip it into the English vernacular, it would be miles easier for me to explain one of my favorite things.

There are only a few more strolls around the fountain to be had as we close in on our bon voyage to Wild Medicine this weekend. Where will you be on Sunday?
