That&#8217;s good news for everyone who was sweating it out for last week&#8217;s event (though judging by the vegetable hauls recorded on <a title=\"NYBG Instagram\" href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/nybg\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, you weren&#8217;t all that bothered by the sun last Wednesday). In any case, our vendors will be keeping up their presentation of the July harvest with even more fresh-picked and delicious goodies to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Last week we saw the arrival of peaches from <a title=\"Migliorelli Farm\" href=\"http:\/\/migliorelli.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Migliorelli Farm<\/a>, accompanied by blueberries, corn, eggs, and all sorts of tomato and apple sauces and juices. From <a title=\"Red Jacket Orchards\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redjacketorchards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Red Jacket Orchards<\/a>, the gooseberries were the big surprise, following raspberries, black currants, apricots, sugar plums, and then some. And from <a title=\"Meredith's Bread\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meredithsbread.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Meredith&#8217;s Bread<\/a> (a breakfast favorite around here\u2014be there early or you may miss out on some stuff), cherry, mixed berry, and apple-raspberry crumb pies; cinnamon rolls, brownies, cookies, and sweet breads\u2014chocolate cream cheese, carrot cake, and banana nut among them.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s new for this week? We don&#8217;t know yet! With the vagaries of weather and crops to deal with, harvest times aren&#8217;t often set in stone. But we&#8217;ll have more news on that come Wednesday.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe <a title=\"The New York Botanical Garden\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\">NYBG<\/a> Greenmarket runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Wednesday through November 27, with free short-term parking for Greenmarket shoppers and\u2014as on every Wednesday\u2014free Grounds Admission for visitors.

Using a dessert spoon, place a small amount of the stuffing at the base of each flower and twist the petals so that the stuffing is held safely inside the flower. Place on a baking sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Heat a large heavy-bottom skillet to high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is hot, dip each flower in the batter and add them to the pan. Saut\u00e9 for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Flip the flowers and continue to saut\u00e9 for 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Repeat until all flowers have been used, reducing the heat to medium-high when the pan is very hot so the oil doesn\u2019t burn.<\/p>\n<p>To serve, overlap 4 to 6 flowers in the center of each plate and serve immediately. <i>Cook&#8217;s note &#8211; The flowers must be served piping hot, they become soggy as they cool.<\/i> \u00a9 2011 Viviane Bauquet Farre \u2014 Food &amp; Style NY LLC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gooseberries, anyone?
