Reply #10: I enjoy the farmer's markets.

[Lugnut]

Homegrown produce is at its peak right now where I live. We plant a small garden that's producing tomatoes very nicely. The local farms are overflowing with fruits and veggies that are very inexpensive. I've packed a lot of fresh sweet corn in the freezer and will be roasting tomatoes for the freezer next week. Sliced fresh peppers from the market will be added next week. I have bunches of garlic hanging up in the basement to use over the winter.

Right now we are eating a lot of things that include fresh tomatoes. Grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches are delicious. Chopped fresh tomatoes, garlic and olive oil tossed with cooked pasta is a staple in this house. I love this time of year and we save a lot of money with the big upright freezer in the basement.
