Summer with it’s hot days and warm nights has finally arrived bringing with it a volume of fruits, melons, and heat loving vegetables. There have been some delicious apricots and cherries recently which are soon to go out of season. But grapes, melons, peaches, nectarines, and plums are all coming on strong. The white nectarines are particularly sumptuous. In the vegetable realm sweet corn and green beans should be a part of your summertime menu. We often have fresh local basil and mint available. Look for lugs of O’Henry peaches (pesticide free) to arrive in the second week of August. They are always welcome for canning, pies, jam, and “out of hand” eating. And Berries! It’s a great year for the little gems. They are reasonably priced and full of flavor. Eat them now!
