Last weekend, one of the stands at the farmers market still had a couple containers of fresh, vividly colored squash blossoms. I didn't discover them until I had done nearly all my shopping (and spend all my money), so I had to pass. They are such a delicious treat and have such a fleeting season, I kept thinking about them for the rest of the day, kicking myself that I hadn't been able to get any.

This picture, by Flickr user About Photos in the Sunset, captures the beauty of the squash blossom perfect. I love how the orange transitions into green. Thanks for adding this picture to the Slashfood pool!

I love farmer's markets - I'd love to see more and be able to get products like these squash and the other really beautiful food I always find at the markets.

Have you guys ever written about vertical farms on the site? If you haven't a good place to start looking into it is: http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/vertical-farm-in-new-york-city

Yum!
