So we love to garden...it is something that we enjoy and it has become a tradition that our family shares every year. I have to say that I have a lot of friends that tell me that they would eat more fruits and veggies but they don't have the time or expertise to garden the way that we do. WHAT!?!?!? That's cool if you don't have time or the ability to grow stuff...heck, we all have our own talents and gifts, and gardening is not for everyone. But please don't let be a reason why you are not eating plenty of fruits and veggies! Check out your local farm market. If you are living in or near Virginia, make that marketS (emphasis on the S), because if you seek them out, they will appear! They are like peas on the vine...even when you think you have picked out the last one, another pops up when you least expect it! It is like that all over the country, though. TONS of lovely produce is right there at your fingertips. It has that yummy home-grown flavor and you don't have to get your hands dirty or give up what few hours a day you have for free time. An added bonus is that you will be supporting your local farmers and helping out the economy for your community. I just went to the farmer's market last night, as we did not have enough room to plant sweet corn and I had a craving (fancy that!). So make the most of the BEST that summer has to offer and load up on farm-fresh goodness till the frost sets in!
