Question of the Week - What is in season in your part of the world?

[Guest guest]

Time for another Question of the Week?

 

What locally grown produce is in season right now, in your part of the

world? Also, What if any, do you grown in your yard, pots and garden?

 

Your responses always make these QOTW, interesting to us all.

Have fun.

Blueberries have just come in season here. I went by a blueberry farm and

bought 10 lbs and they were only $1.50/lb for sweet plump blueberries. I've

been enjoying a bowl every morning. My youngest daughter said she wants to make

a blueberry pie with some of them today. I'll put some in the freezer for

smothies, muffins, etc. We made a fresh fruit salad with some blueberries,

strawberries, watermellon, mandrin oranges and pineapple with slivered almonds.

It was delicious.

 

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.

 

My basil plants which I grown in a pot, is really producing a lot and we are

enjoying having it for cooking in things and making pesto...... We also have

garlic chives and a stevia plant that is ready anytime we want some... Boiy

are those stevia leaves nice and sweet, just to munch on... This is my first

year to have that plant..

 

Well I'm sure there is more, but that is what I'm remembering at the moment.
