Market Report: Citrus and greens abound in Santa Monica

You could probably find a couple dozen different varieties of citrus fruits in the Santa Monica farmers market at this time of year. But on my visit today, I buy only one type: satsumas.

I can't handle more citrus fruit on this particular trip because my shoulder bag is already stuffed with greens, including collards and lacinato kale. And the multi-colored carrots at one farm stand looked so nice that I bought a bunch of all three, some of which I'll roast together with the beets, Tokyo turnips and German Butterball potatoes that I also purchased today.
