Eating Fresh

I can't emphasize how much I love eating fresh fruits and vegetables from my garden.  For the last month and a half, I have been enjoying various goodies from my garden.  First, I was harvesting onions, mint, radishes, and young pea plants.  Now, it's mizuna greens, lettuce, zucchini flowers, cilantro, dill, and raspberries (in addition to the onions and mint).  I love how fresh everything tastes and that I don't have to buy so much produce from the store.  I'm also loving the fact that I'm eating more of what's in season, and more acceptable of eating more seasonally.

Are you eating more seasonally?

What about those apple trees?

Anonymous, the apples have yet to ripen. Right now, the apples are little green buds. What's interesting is that my apple tree didn't bloom this year. Yet, the spliced, apple and crab apple tree bloomed and I actually have some apples on it (even though the tree was trimmed last year by a friend). I'm looking forward to making apple juice.
