Takoma Park: Methley Plums
26Jul2009 Filed under: Market Reports Author: Ketzirah
The exciting find today was Methley Plums! These plums are about the size of a GIAHUGIC berry. Only way I can think to describe the size. They are way smaller than normal plums, and you can just pop them right in your mouth. They were an interesting addition to Art D.’s “nom’ing bowl” today. Several vendors had them at Takoma Park, but we got ours from Blackrock Orchard who also had great looking blueberries.
For a size comparison here’s the nom’ing bowl filled with blueberries and Methley plums.
We (me and Art D.) also picked up some fresh corn, milk from Clear Springs Creamery, and fresh tiny apricots! It’s going to be a yummy week.
