At today's Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket, pumpkin selection frenzy was at peak intensity among the Park Slope young'uns.
Global warming? 
Row cover technology? Whatever, I've never seen zucchini, peppers and eggplant look so good so late in the year. Ratatouille season is running right up to Hallowe'en.
Multicolored mountains of carrots sprawled in that October sunshine that makes everything feel a bit like a hallucination.
These tiny purple berries scarcely look real. They're actually called beautyberries.
GREENMARKET DOG OF THE DAY
Just in time for Pit Bull Awareness Day, here is Oliver, a rescue boy who's about 8 years old. He lives happily with two Chihuahuas and a kittycat, and loves strangers; when I leaned down, I was rewarded with a big ol' bully kiss. Shelters overflow with these wonderful dogs, abandoned by irresponsible owners. Oliver is a great example of what gentle and magnificent companions they can be.
