Veggie Tales
by Heidi at Betty Crocker  6/18/2008 4:12:00 PM

It’s a beautiful day here in Minnesota. I’m looking forward to getting home and working in my garden. I hope to dig up and divide some daylilies. I only grow flowers. I never had much luck with vegetables. I usually lost my tomatoes to Blossom End Rot (gross!) and the squirrels made off with my bell peppers. I do okay with basil, chives and rosemary, so I usually plant a little container of those to have on hand (it’s so much cheaper than buying it at the grocery store and I like that I can just snip off a little as I need it). In the summer I love to visit local Farmers’ Markets for fresh veggies. I try to find someone to go with as I can never eat what I buy before it goes bad. I thought this link, recently featured on epicurious, was really cool.

 

How about you? Where do you get your veggie in the summer?

Mmmm... I love fresh veggies - and the fresher the better! Unfortunately, when we moved to our current home about 8 years ago I had to forego gardening. We live in an older neighborhood in town now with very little yard space and lots of huge oak trees which keep the majority of the yard in complete shade. Anyway... our grocery chain does have some great produce - a huge selection! But I try to also visit the local health food store for organically grown produce, as well as local farmers markets and roadside stands whenever I can. This year my son-in-law's parents invited us to come glean from their garden, so I can't wait!<div></div>
