Flats in the Garden

Today's Garden post is taking place at the Minneapolis Farmer's Market...the Flats saw many wonderful things and wanted to share them with you.
There were booths from all over the state at this farmer's market and it was set up on the sidewalks downtown. There was something for everyone...Next week we'll show you some of the strange and unusual things we found...
Pirate loves a good fresh apple, and these are REALLY Fresh!
We found an Amish stand selling many different types of tomatoes...I asked him if we could photograph his food, and he was ok with that...Here's Pirate with some yellow heirloom tomatoes. I should have taken pictures of the signs telling what type they were, but oh well...
Sophie found some that were pretty and red...they all had such exotic sounding names...of course these are organic too.
Devon hanging out with some darker ones....
Tanner found some that were yellow and orange like him! Tabby Tomatoes anyone?

Smokey's choice were a very deep red...
Tanner and Sophie found the catnip stand...

Devon thought the blueberries looked delicious...blue is his color afterall :)

Smokey loved looking at the purple eggplant...Smokey loves the color purple!
There were beautiful flowers everywhere...it smelled wonderful walking down the streets. I think the boys were trying to con me into getting some of that catnip by offering me some flowers!

Well, there you have it. For more fabulous gardens check out the other members of The Society of Feline Gardeners.

  1. Ha ha - these photos are the greatest! Our human thinks those heirloom tomatoes look so yummy - but we would prefer the catnip.

  8. Great pictures!! So glad the whole family could make the trip! I would guess that the tomatoes Sophie and Smokey found are called 'Coeur de Boeuf' - at least that is what I know them as over here. They ALL look so good I think I can actually SMELL them!!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful market day with us!! Purrs, Lautrec and Tiny
