Question of the Week - What is in season in your part of the wor

[Guest guest]

After Judy's message I feel like I live in a waste land. The only thing that is

fresh here locally is asparagus and rhubarb.

 

If I can count local hot house tomatoes that are so tasty that they taste like

they came out of a garden in late summer, I won't feel so deprived. I can only

get them from on particular green house to have them taste that good. This

grower seems to have a magic formula for tomatoes and of course I get them right

after they are picked.

My figs should be rips soon. Yeah!!! Love them

 

I've got tomatoes starting to get ripe in my garden.

 

All the corn fields around here, look like they will be ready to harvest within

the week, so the produce stands should be loaded up soon. We love fresh corn on

the cob. I love it even raw.

 

Speckled butter beans, field peas with snaps, purple hull peas, lima beans, and

cucumbers are already coming in here. Our produce stands have shelling machines,

and mix the beans if you desire and I desire. LOL So good cooked together.

 

Okra should be ready within a couple of weeks in the stands too.

 

Peaches are also starting to ripen up in the southern part of our state and are

showing in the produce stands and grocery stores. There is a huge peach orchard

about 50 miles south of me...and they grow delicious peaches.

I agree! Judy's message almost made me want to move!

Asparagus and rhubarb are in season and the fiddleheads are just ending. My

chives wintered in a pot on the deck so I have tonnes of those!

I get a small organic " good food box " every week and they try to source as much

local as possible. So, I'm still eating Ontario apples, carrots, and potatos.

Technically they are in season since carrots in particular get sweeter with age.

Not unlike myself.

In middle Tennessee, the best strawberries are in(and unfortunately

almost done) and because it has been so wet and cool lots of greens

(which I still haven't totally mastered) it is getting hot now though

so I'd imagine we should start to see tomatoes and other summer produce...
