Huge Gooseberries Are Here; Callaloo Promises Immortality

How big can they get and still be called berries?Photo: Zoe Singer

After sighting the season’s first apricots at the Greenmarket last Saturday, we figure the dog days can’t be far behind. Gather your dinner-party guests while the weather is still cool enough for cooking, and be prepared to switch to a raw-food (or ice-cream) diet any day now.

Sour Cherries and Mountain Spinach Enter the Greenmarket’s Great Stage

Sour cherries to the left of me, sour cherries to the right ...Photo: Zoe Singer

If, like our frugal foremothers, you’re into preserving, now’s the time to mobilize. You can buy up berries for jam, freeze pitted cherries for future pies, pickle zucchini, turnips, garlic and beets, and put up enough pesto to see you well beyond tomato season. Or take the modern approach to seasonality, and eat up while the getting is good.

Medieval Zucchini and Bloomsday Cheese Compete for Your Greenmarket Attention

You only thought you knew carrots.Photo: Zoe Singer

If you find yourself a little cowed by the wall of leafy greens and swarms of guys in chef’s jackets in Union Square, reach out to your local farmers. They’ll point you to what’s new, at peak, or just plain easy to cook, and they’re happy to brag about which restaurants are buying their stuff. This week that means zucchini, spinach, and carrots of a kind we haven’t seen yet this season.

Bouquets of Chive Flowers Bloom; Radishes and Raspberries Aplenty

For the hungry romantic, chive flowers that look like lavender.Photo: Zoe Singer

The market has reached a critical mass: It’s no longer possible to snap up every piece of good-looking produce and carry it all home. Our plan of attack is to go early, do a walk-through before the buying frenzy, and bring big bags — oh, and hit the ATM first.

Lobsters Roll In, Fiddleheads Advance, and Ramps Retreat

Lobster shortage? What lobster shortage?Photo: Zoe Singer

Cool weather and rain have made for a slow growing season thus far, while also creating the ideal conditions for fiddlehead ferns, which sprout in damp, wooded areas and more than compensate for sunbathing weather in our book.

Wild Dandelion Greens and Field-Grown Rhubarb Kick Off the Growing Season

The Greenmarket is looking more like dinner as all those inedible flowers make way for an increasing variety of produce. We’re not going totally locavore just yet, especially since the picking at gourmet markets is getting better by the day. But if need be, it could be done.

The countdown to the first ramps of the year has begun. During the wait — a week or two at most — celebrate the emergence of zippy cresses and tender herbs.

There’s already lovely salad to be had, and farms south of the city are beginning to pull up the first shoots of green garlic and chives; farmers upstate report that early crops will be harvested the moment the ground warms up enough.

Union Square Bursts Into Bloom

That's funny, we've been enjoying fresh herb all along.Photo: Zoe Singer

Farmers are just now planting seed; if storage potatoes and onions don’t scratch your spring foraging itch, greenhouse greens and a profusion of flowering plants, budding fruit-tree branches, cut flowers, and potted herbs should do it. We’ll be keeping tabs on seasonal foods at the gourmet markets until local produce is going strong.

Foul-Weather Friends: What to Get at the Greenmarket This Winter

Holiday tents full of "unique gifts" have sprouted once more in Union Square, crowding the produce, and beginning later today, we'll be updating you on what's new at the gourmet shops, not the Greenmarket. But although some farmers take off for the season after Thanksgiving and others come only through Christmas, there's still plenty to shop for at the market this winter. Look for the following hardy offerings when the weather is above freezing.

The Silkiest Pumpkin, P.C. Pâté, and Summer in Jars

Take a hint from the squirrels gathering acorns in Union Square and drag home bags of heavy storage foods like apples, onions, and potatoes. That way you'll be stocked for hearty cold-weather meals.

Watermelon and winter squash face off at the market this week: Summer melons will soon be a memory, but the earthy-sweet flavors of fall foods like squash and apples are coming into their own. And don't forget the pumpkins.
