Yuma is the Winter Vegetable Capitol of the Nation.
They grow vegetables 12 months of the year.
So it stands to reason...they would have "Lettuce Days"
It was a fun experience...
We arrived on our preferred transportation in Yuma...

Parking was a problem for those with cars...
but we got to park at the front door!
There were Markets...
Salad Bar for $2.00
Different Cooking shows...
We enjoyed watching one chef make veggie flowers...
He could make a cantaloupe flower in 2 minutes...
Yes that was about 2 minutes!
Giveaway Booths...
We went home with:
container of lettuce,
cans of pineapple juice (which came in handy on the ride home...as it was very warm)
and mandarin oranges.
We had a wonderful day!
Looks like fun. The canteloupe flower is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a canteloupe on hand - wonder if I could make that flower with a potato?
ReplyDeleteMaybe...he had special tools for cutting...the potato would have a harder surface than the canteloupe
DeleteWhat a beautiful cantaloupe flower and a fun place to spend the day. You guys sure look like you're enjoying it there.

ReplyDeleteand those mellons...WoW!!!
What a fun way to spend a day. I'm very impressed with the cantaloupe flower.
ReplyDeleteLettuce Days! How wonderful! You are sure having a good time! I would love to make 'food art'.....but then we would just EAT it!
ReplyDeleteIf I do art I want to be able to display it or hang it on the wall.
However I would love to have one of those edible bouquets. They look SO good!!!!
That sounds like a fun place to go. DO they offer classes on making veggie flowers?
