Now with the bountiful harvest of local fruit and fabulous vegetables everywhere it ideal to stick to 'local' products. Your body will apprecaiate the extra boost of enzymes derived from freshly picked, and your taste buds will savor the dainties that only exist in your region - this time of year.
I found that my garden this year was the perfect size. I accidentally double planted beans (as I thought the first planting was washed away) but turned out ideal as I've been able to pick every few days a generous portion for the family.
All the raspberries and peaches are done - and there were times when I ate nothing but peaches for my meal - mmmmm! Yum!
Just picked the majority of my pears as the wasps are starting to hone in on the ripe sweet orbs. Had a bucket full of new potatos that I will cook up today, and seeded the ground with Mezuna for Fall harvesting.
There is nothing as tasty as freshly harvested food from your own organic garden. I'm not much of a green thumb, and my one primary tip is the watering; careful to keep seedlings from dehydration.
Always plant extra, as you have to expect some attrition from pests, weather and perhaps provide the ability to share if you get a bumper crop of zuchini!
