In season now: strawberries, cherries, carrots, purslane, garlic scapes
In season soon: basil, blueberries, kohlrabi (the first tiny ones have started to appear), tomatoes

The strawberry was the star of the market this week at the Union Square Greenmarket. Almost every stand had at least one box of the juicy red gems. Cherries of the sweet and sour variety were also in abundance. We saw huge piles of carrots of all colors, curly garlic scapes, and some tiny yet delicious cucumbers. Check out all the produce glory in the slideshow.
