If ,like me, you have been hanging on to your old batteries because you can't bear the idea of just throwing them out with your trash, here is some useful information. You can drop off your old rechargeable and cell phone batteries for recycling at the Carroll Gardens Greenmarket, which will be held on Sundays year-round from now on.
Just go to the Green NY information desk set up at the corner of Carroll and Smith Streets and look for the little cardboard box.
Couldn't be easier.
Unfortunately, I still don't know what to do or where to bring my used regular batteries.
Any ideas, dear Reader?

CARROLL GARDENS GREENMARKET
Yes, folks! The Carroll Gardens Green Market is coming back tomorrow, January 2nd, and will be held on Sundays year round from now on. How cool is that?
See you there tomorrow?
From the Grow New York Organization web site:
Schedule: Sundays, Year Round, 8AM-4P
Going into its 4th successful season, this much loved Sunday market located across from Carroll Park and in front of PS58 is a great destination for neighbors, shoppers, families and Sunday brunch goers. With an incredible array of regional products from Cheryl Rogowski the first farmer to win a McArthur Genius Grant, to award-winning Vermont cheesemaker Consider Bardwell keeping a 150 year old farm from development, to a group of young farmers at Fishkill Farms proving that farming is back in style, this market has it all. Also coming back are Grazin’ Angus’ grass-fed meats, Milk Thistle’s organic milks and yogurts (named the best in New York by NY Magazine), and Hector Perez’s beautiful flowers, plants and affordably-priced vegetables--why shop anywhere else? Don't forget the weekly fun-filled family activities, seasonal events and tasty demos we have planned all season long!

Everyone in Carroll Gardens seemed to have been at the first Sunday Greenmarket of the season. No surprise! The weather was just amazing. More importantly, it has been a very, very long winter and the Greenmarket has been on hiatus for more than three months and neighborhood residents were glad to have the market back.
"I am ecstatic" a friend, who was buying organic milk from one of the stalls, told me. "I've been waiting a long time for this."
Yes, indeed! So have I.
Where you there as well, dear Reader?

I know you have been waiting as impatiently as me for the Carroll Gardens Greenmarket to come back for another great season of fresh local produce, bread, milk, as well as meat and fish. Most of all, I am looking forward to the annual and perennial plants, since I have a few bare spots in my garden.
The wait is finally over! The market is coming back to the corner of Smith and Carroll Street in front of PS58 for its third season this Sunday. Very cool!

I just voted to name the Carroll Gardens Green Market "America's Favorite", after receiving an email from Heather Rubi, our Market Manager.
Heather entered our own neighborhood market in the contest lead by the American Farmland Trust.
From the Trust's web site:
Farmers markets are an asset to our communities and deserve our support. You can help your favorite farmers market gain the recognition it deserves and ensure that it and other local markets like it continue to thrive.
Heather feels that "Carroll Gardens can pull off a win!!!"
Lets prove her right, shall we?

Oh, it was so very cold on Sunday morning, dear reader, yet the Freshmarket vendors had set up their produce and were waiting for Carroll Gardeners to arrive to do their shopping. After a busy summer and fall, it was uncharacteristically quiet, though the usual wonderful food was available even this late in the season.
There are still two opportunities to shop, as the last market of the season will be on Sunday, 21st.
After that, we will have to wait months till they come back....So take advantage.

What a pleasure it was to walk over to the Carroll Gardens Greenmarket on Sunday morning.
Since last year, the market has much expanded and there is now a greater variety of food including dairy, bread, meat as well as seafood. The produce was wonderful. The strawberries were sensational and I regret not having bought a second basket of them. The first was almost gone by the time I returned home.
Of course you know, dear reader, that I am drawn particularly to the flowers and the nursery had some very interesting perennials. I found three which I simply had to have. I am just waiting for cooler weather to find a spot for them in my tiny garden.
As a special treat, local resident Andrew Sarno brought his beautifully restored old Ford-Furguson tractor to the market. He keeps it right here in Brooklyn, parked in a garage.
The only downside to this first Greenmarket of the season was the tremendous heat which already was beastly by 9 AM. I felt sorry for the vendors.
Lets hope it will be cooler by next week.
