Pumpkins and Squash at Comus Market
Have you ever been out to the Comus Market? Art has it inked on our calendar for November every year now. They have the most incredible selection of locally grown squash! It’s located in Montgomery County, MD — about 45 minutes from the District.
Favorite picture of Art from last year's trip! Check out my pumpkin!
My favorites for looks are the fairytale pumpkins, but we’re really buying them to eat.
Wonder if this will make good carriage? These were there just a week ago!
We already had a “volunteer” fairytale from our own garden, so Art insisted we buy other things this year. If you buy them, please don’t just use them as decoration! They are so pretty, but also good to eat. Most fall squash and pumpkins will last for a really long time. They are a great food for getting fresh local vegetables in the winter. Stock up now before they are gone.
If you go, take
