What an amazing vegetable, the romanesco. I’d never seen one before. Next time I’m at the market, I’m going to buy one to bring home to prepare and eat. This time, I was content just to take a picture of it and marvel at its true fractal geometry. It’s like a science fiction plant to me…not something from this planet.
The St. Pete Saturday Morning Market has increased the number and quality of its organic vegetable booths. If you haven’t been to the market in a while, this is perfect weather for a visit!

Hello!
I have just moved here from CO. and was hoping you can tell me where the sat. morning St. Petersburg market is located?
Finding Fresh produce in the clearwater/St. Pete area is on the top of my to do lists.
Thanks for your help!!

If you’re interested in fresh produce you definitely want to make it to the Saturday morning market. Here’s their website, http://www.saturdaymorningmarket.com/, a map, and some pretty pictures I took at the market: German bread, pastries, and very fresh fish and Saturday Morning Market.
Midweek, my favorite places to buy fresh produce are City Produce, any day, and Gulfport Fresh Market on Tuesdays.
For very, very fresh seafood, I recommend Island Seafood Market and Bistro.
There are other markets and specialty shops–too many to easily mention–but, the above are my usual produce and fish shopping haunts. For more possibilities, visit the Index page of Inkwatu at inkwatu.com/index/ and look under the Food category.
they look like fractual fruits ! Think of those fractual paintings and then look again at the pic you posted !
