I tried two new fruits, a persimmon and an Asian pear. The persimmon was on November 1st, and the Asian pear was on November 6th. The persimmon was something I picked up outside of our classroom in the bins. I tried multiple slices, but unfortunately I couldn't get myself to like it. It was an odd sweet taste, but it also tasted watery, which I didn't like. I did like how it looked though, it definitely looked very appetizing! The Asian pear was almost like an apple to me. It was also sweet, but it didn't have much flavor. I liked it better than the persimmon, but I still prefer fruits like strawberries, grapes, and blueberries!

We were able to walk through the sorghum because they had a "corn" maze, and they let us take home a sunflower. The sunflowers were grown in long rows, each about a foot away from each other. It was cool to know the different parts of their anatomy after looking at them in class at the beginning of the semester!

 These pictures are of our trip to the Saint Augustine Amphitheatre Farmer's Market on November 9th. There were two main displays that sold produce. The first two images were the first stand. They advertised their fruits by placing them close to the walkway, and spread out and priced by basket. The second, shown in the second two images, was different because everything was close together under a tent, and they were not priced by basket. The second stand also had workers going around to answer questions, as a lot of their produce was more unheard of fruits and vegetables. We bought a Ruby Red orange from the first stand, and it was delicious!
