Padrón peppers at Portland Farmers Market (PSU)
I'm currently visiting Portland (for the first time!) and am planning to go to the Portland Farmers Market at PSU before I leave on Saturday afternoon. My coworker has been raving about the Padrón peppers fried in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. He said I should be able to find them at the Farmers Market. I don't want to miss these peppers—they sound absolutely delicious! Will I spot them easily just by wandering through the market, or should I keep my eye out for a particular booth?
Other recommendations for the Farmers Market are also very much appreciated!

Go to the Viridian Farms booth, on the south side of the market, at the east corner. They usually fry them up to sample and sell small baskets. And FYI, I bought a small Padrom starter at the nursery and have been growing them in a planter pot on the patio. They are healthy plants and easy to grow in this climate. The Viridian people told me they like a lot of water and some "kelp" once and a while.

Perfect. Thank you! I'm very excited to try these.
Wonder if I'd be able to grow the peppers in my California apartment building...!
