In my role as official stroller pusher for grandson, I didn’t take time to get many photos, but these artichokes had to be photographed. I love artichokes but I’ve never seen any like this! I’d almost hate to eat these. Perhaps putting them in a vase would be more appropriate. 🙂
We were much later than usual, so some things had started selling out but there were still enough to make me quite hungry.
These flowers are a bit more unusual than many I’ve seen. If I could, I’d love to always have fresh flowers in the house.
Closing thought…Every time I do a post about a farmer’s market, the grammar nerd in my wonders…is it “farmer’s market” (one farmer), “farmers’ market” (belonging to multiple farmers), or a “farmers market” (a market with farmers)? I’ve never bothered to look up the “correct” terminology and as far as I’m concerned none would be wrong. Any feelings or “official” thoughts?
This, that and the other thing 
Those are beauties!
I’ve seen lots of artichokes but never that color and with the “crown” on top.
Great photo of the artichokes – and also new to me. I remember the first time I saw a field of artichokes. I had to ask someone what I saw. Meanwhile, here’s what Merriam-Webster has to say about your grammar dilemma. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/is-there-an-apostrophe-in-farmers-market-punctuation-possessive
Thanks, Frank. Looks like I got it right. 🥰
😊
Beautiful- love the color of the artichokes. Doesn’t matter if you say Farmer’s Market or Farmers’ Market – we all understand.
Those artichokes are really something, that’s for sure.
I love your photos of the artichokes, flowers and the veggies at the farmers’ market!
Thanks, Aletta. I hope to get more this weekend.
Lovely
beautiful produce. I’ve never seen an artichoke bloom! Thanks.
They really are gorgeous aren’t they?
Yes, they’re like enormous thistles!
They are but SO tasty.
Yes, very tasty, ate them tonight. And I think thistles are pretty (in the wild)
I agree. Birds like them too.
It all looks good! I love the flower of the artichoke too. I only eat the hearts I never got into the leaves.
All forms of Farmers Market work for me.
Then I want to eat artichokes with you. That way I get two sets of leaves and one heart. Lol.
😂
My understanding is that it is: “farmers’ market” because many farmers are setting up a market together. It makes sense to me. My learning may be antiquated now, but like you I just go with what pleases me. Your photos are making me hungry.
They make me hungry too but even more so in person!
I have never seen artichokes like these. Lovely fresh flowers.
Great images, Janet.
I hadn’t seen them like that either but they’re gorgeous. Market flowers are often unusual and lovely. Glad you enjoyed them, Amy.
Such bounty! I think farmers are very underappreciated.
And underpaid.
Oh! Oh! Oh! I knew artichokes were thistles, but I never saw the blooms before! THANK YOU!
You’re very welcome. I hadn’t seen them like that either.
Those flowers are unusual
And the stroller pusher still grabbed some photos –
Right on!
Not sure About the farmers market correctness
Turns out that any of them are right. I enjoyed those flowers too.
Well good to know any of them will
Work
I love the shots. Indeed, I have never seen artichoke flowers before.
Thanks, Paula, and thanks for stopping by. I hope all is well with you.

Who knew that the artichoke boasts such magnificent flowers! Our village as a FARMERS MARKET. I have a strong feeling that anything incorrect would answer to the grammar police. Cheers Virginia
Since apparently any of the three is correct, just enjoy the produce and other products. 🙂 The artichokes were a wonderful surprise to me.
I love farmers’ markets! Especially when I’m traveling. The artichokes are gorgeous and those flowers so unique! I’m happy your stroller duties could be interrupted! 🌞
I found out today that the artichokes were just for decoration and can’t be eaten when they’re like this. It’s similar to lettuce bolting. But they are lovely!
I love your role as a stroller pusher. lol California always has the most unique “stuff” . I have found the weirdest vegetables too, and the most curious flowers. Lots to learn there.
And now you have me pondering farmers.
We had fantastic markets in Cleveland but the California markets are wonderful. I think about farmers quite often.
Wow
And there was lots more to see. 🙂
