Rialto Market - Venice Part 2
Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a Hampshire garden. I've been growing veggies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Some traditional varieties and old favourites as well as new ideas. I share my garden with my allotment assistant Daisy the Labrador. On Twitter as @MatronsVeggies
Many countries around the world cherish and appreciate their local fresh produce! It is a normal part of everyday life in Venice to get your fresh produce from the daily market. The Rialto market in Venice is no exception. Here's a quick tour.
When I visit other places in the World one thing I love to do above all others is to visit a local fresh produce market. There is something about the colour, the smells and the pregnant vibrancy which I find irresistible.
Bloggers may remember last year I planted 'black' veggies as a living reminder of my lovely dog Buddy. Well, Matron has had an idea for veggie planting in 2012. I'm trying to think of veggies that are RED WHITE and BLUE to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
No I haven't lost my temper, but last Thursday night there was a flash bang at Matron's residence and as a consequence I have no power sockets! No TV, computer, radio. Why do these things happen over a weekend? Normal service resumes soon.
