Dutchess going to the market 🚲
When its not raining i prefer to visit the market place by bike. Its a bit heavy to get it all home, but to me this is the way i used to do it ever since i left the home of my parents and it stil feels like the proper way 😊
And here are the spoils!
The kitchen now smells to melon, strawberry, fresh mint and basil - the Scents of Sumer
🍓🍃🌞
I like to wash my veggies with a bit of vinegar and backingsoda. Not sure if it helps, but its always better then not to wash them, i figured.
Its not always possible to buy organic food - for one thing, its often too expensive.
I do have some demands though - banana's for instance should always be organic, there is just too much pesticide on the peels and even in the bananas.
If you use orange or lemonzest,its wise to use organic fruit too.
This is a double post for #marketfriday by@dswigle and #fruitsandveggiesmonday by @lenaseganiving.
Follow them both; they are -amongst other talents - great flower photographers! Great poems and wordweaving and super deli vegan recepies with yawn dropping photographs is what you can expect!
Have a great weekend!
Don't forget about Scent Sunday 😀

I love going to #MarketFriday with the @dutchess! Not only is the bike a perfect way, but, photographically - oh, what a shot! Next time. perhaps I can ride on the handlebars? I can see us careening down the small alleys, hair flying as the wind blows our hair.
Oh, my!! You really are a lot of fun!!
I love to take my time, carefully selecting my fruits and veggies too. I also buy organic in my root vegetables because they are grown in the soil. Just my opinion.
Thank you for the awesome post! I love the way the story unfolds and the pictures you use. It is most appreciated by me!! Happy #MarketFriday, my friend!! I also appreciate such a wonderful shout out! Mwah! Resteemed
tip!
Can I join too, except I don't know how to ride a bicycle lol. Please don't laugh it's true. My parents didn't want to buy a bicycle for me because they were afraid I will kill myself. When I was older I tried to learn but I end up in the ditch lol.
:) Of course, Lena! Might I suggest training wheels?
Oh yes, great idea Denise and I want pink bicycle too lol 🌸💖🌸
With a matching helmet. One can never be too careful.
Yes yes, I am goig to look adorable lol
LOL Yes! :)
Lol Lena! You can come with me on my bike, just sit on the backside.
As we say in Holland: spring maar achterop - achterop mn fiets 🎧🎶♩🎵
Yeah! Comments like this surely make my day! The pleasure is all mine, Denise. I love your challenge, as a love market places. By your challenge a girl gets around!
:heart:
Back to upvote! Finally got a little power back!
Hey thanks for spending it on my post!
I love seeing the photos of your bike and beautiful produce @dutchess!
Me too the bike looks very Dutch.
Dutchess beeing very Dutch 😆
Thats ok. I hope YOU have a WONDERFUL day!
Thank you Lakshmi! Sukria!
Biking to the market to buy fresh fruits and flowers is like watching an old-fashioned afternoon movie. I could just imagine.
You get my drift! 😀
Thanks for the wonderful tips, Judith! It's great to ride a bike on the market !!! We tried to do this with us, but with a bicycle to walk in our Israeli crowd around the market is uncomfortable :)))
I think its very dutch - and chinese, to go everywhere by bike
In Israel, too, some people are already switching to bicycles because of the terrible traffic jams on the road. One of our friends goes by bike to work in a neighboring city - he works in a large hospital
Its the fastes way! My husband cannot beat me by car in the centre of the city!
Some good tips there on washing and cleaning fruit and veg.
Love the pictures of the fresh fruit and herbs, I just upvoted your resteem @tali72 and I will upvote you as well. Love the subject matter. Makes me wish I had a market like that here.
