On Saturday, the Master Gardener volunteers held a tomato tasting of cherry tomatoes at the Salisbury Farmers Market. Approximately 100 people participated, sampling five varieties of tomatoes commonly called cherry or salad tomatoes. Many people grow cherry tomatoes in pots on their patio or tucked into their landscape for a bite size burst of flavor, a perfect healthy snack. You may think all cherry tomatoes are the same, but there are many flavors, colors and shapes and local farmers are growing several different varieties.

A bounty of blueberries, blackberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and corn fill the market. The Bread Basket has tomato basil bread that is seasoned just right for a tomato sandwich. You will find fruit pies made with local fruit from How Sweet It Is! and The Bread Basket. Lee Ly is back at the market with a large selection of flowers for custom made bouquets. Both Ly and Cathy Reynolds at Bluebird Acre Farms have a nice selection of zinnias and sunflowers.

There were 25 vendors at the market last Saturday and at least 10 of them had a good selection of plants.
