Good gourd, we’ve got gourds is the theme of this week’s Memphis Farmers Market. Buy some decorative gourds to spruce up your home, and also buy some edible members of the gourd family – pumpkins, winter squash, butternut squash, acorn squash – to serve for dinner.

You know I had a lot of fun with that last year. The Market is at the corner of Front and G.E. Patterson the next three Saturdays from 7 AM to 1 PM.
