I had to get (more) blood drawn for tests, and after that I went to the farmers market. I came home with plums, the big oval Italian kind; Elstar apples; Vanessa grapes; raspberries; and diva cucumbers.
I am very pleased with my haul, in part because I thought I'd missed the season for those plums and maybe for that kind of apple. I had been picking out Macouns when I saw the box of Elstar apples. I put the Macouns back in their bin because I'm confident of being able to get those in a week or three, and the Elstar season is short.
There's also a small tomato in a bowl on the counter, but I grew that myself.

This is one of the smaller local markets, but with a good variety this time of year. I wonder if this is a regional or climate difference, or just a matter of what people will buy.

I think I'd said I'd missed the season for Elstars, at least once: they turn up for two weeks, three if you're lucky, so it doesn't take much travel, bad weather, or other whatnot to miss seeing them at the market.

They are quite common here. You can get them in any supermarket.
