Unfortunately it looks like today is the best day to actually be outside, but there are plenty of outdoor activities that you should check out this weekend even though you might need a sweater.

Tasty Farmers' Market Veggies (C) Cook Local

• Seattle Tilth Edible Plant Sale: This is the big one ladies and gentlemen. This is the sale to end all plant sales (well, ok, so there are a lot of good plant sales in this area, but the Seattle Tilth sale is all edible plants and all plants that have been selected as appropriate for our climate. Head to Meridian Park on Saturday or Sunday starting at 9am and ending at 3pm. I plan on getting a bunch of herbs as well as tomatoes, cucumbers, and anything else that looks interesting.
• Farmers’ Markets: The Ballard, University District, and West Seattle Farmers’ Markets are going strong. This week brings the return of the Redmond Town Center Farmers’ Market as well. I highly recommend picking up some pancetta from Sea Breeze Farms as well as some asparagus.
• Seattle Yacht Club Opening Day: I wouldn’t recommend kayaking through the Montlake Cut this weekend though, because it’s Opening Day! If you’ve been driving on 520 the past few days, you’ve likely seen the fantastic number of boats moored just ready and waiting to get moving tomorrow. Pack a picnic lunch and a blanket (and maybe an umbrella) and go hang out at the arboretum or on the UW campus and just watch the boats go by.
