It makes perfect sense to me that the first week of spring should feature snow flurries and hail. But spring means so many things - the end of the grey season, the beginning of our surroundings looking alive and colorful again, time for crushes and baseball and asparagus!

For those of us who are trying to locavore, spring also means finally vegetables that aren't root veggies or greens. Not that either is bad, it's just, well, it's nice to eat something else.

And so, locavores rejoice: the Saturday Farmers Market at PSU will be back this Saturday! And, in honor of that, the altportland Farmers Market section is now fully up-to-date with 2008 information.
