Flats and racks of annuals at Whitey Produce, Brooklyn Terminal Market
This morning, some neighbors took me for my first visit to the Brooklyn Terminal Market. Several blocks of outdoor (this time of year, anyway) and indoor plants and supplies (fertilizers, mulch, and so on).
I couldn’t resist buying several plants.
