the world is your acorn

I think B uses this, but I was just reminded of it again by a post on the davis_square group on LiveJournal. Boston.com offers a pretty good street sweeper reminder service via email at Boston Sweeper.
thanks, dirty_devlin!

Lots of farmer’s markets opening up around the boston area around now. Of course there is Russo’s in Watertown (most, not all if the produce is locally grown) that is around all year, but there are a bunch of neighborhood market areas that bring in a bunch of different stands from local farms. The one in Davis Square (Somerville) starts today, although the weather is not the greatest. It runs every Wednesday from around noon-6pm, although the time changes a little as daylight hours fluctuate throughout the summer. Or should I say “summer”?
For a comprehensive listing of the markets around Boston, check out The Federation of Massachusetts Farmers’ Markets website. It may not feel like summer, but we can certainly eat as if it is!
