Farmers' Market Report: Opening Day
Chicago

2009_05_06-GCM-radish.jpgChicago's Green City Market held its first outdoor market of the year today. Taking a brief stroll through the stalls – some already overflowing with early season produce – we felt ourselves breathing a sigh of relief. Spring. It's actually here.

We bought a bunch of the gorgeous French breakfast radishes above, which need nothing more than a little butter, salt and crusty bread. Read on for more sights from the market, plus related recipes and tips.

I am SO happy the market is back. I am lucky enough to live near by!

I was so tempted to hop off the bus as I passed by the market this morning. I can't wait for the Saturday morning market!

Hooray for the farmer's markets returning... my local market still has a few weeks to go, I can barely wait.

On an unrelated note, are other viewers having trouble with the Amana ad? It seems like the click parameters are very broad, especially on certain browsers.

YAY! I can't wait to get some asparagus after seeing it all over the internet.

Yes, the Amana ad causes problems for me, too.
