Strawberries everywhere. The Estonian ones were few and expensive, as it has been too cold most places still - none have ripened for my eyes in Mooste yet, for instance - so the affordable and abundant berries had been trucked in from Lithuania. Onion scapes, new pickles (not long in the marinating tub), still plenty of rhubarb. We bought fresh herbs (peppermint, parsley, dill), dried broad beans, radishes, plain raw milk yogurt, arugula, cauliflower, fresh garlic. A whole corridor of the market is potatoes, 90% of which vendors were still hocking last year's crop at only 5 kroons per kg (aka dirt cheap), but we splurged for new red potatoes which we ate roasted in their jackets with butter and dill.

Bring back potatoes!
I think you can really get a feel of a place by checking out the people and wares at a farmer's market. The scene is so universal and yet so place-specific. I am glad you finally got some other produce!
