This week’s shoppers will find kale, collard greens, carrots, new potatoes, squash, zucchini, green tomatoes, and green, red and Savoy cabbage, along with herb transplants that include sweet basil, lemon basil, purple opal basil and Italian parsley.

The market also will have hanging baskets ready to decorate your patio or deck for the summer.
