Lettuce, kale, kohlrabi, radishes, garlic scapes and herbs; oh my! And so it begins – the local farms are starting to return to markets and CSA pick up sites to distribute their amazing produce!
Pick your own farms are opening their gates and I for one am thrilled to be in Ontario. Strawberries got a bit of a late start but are coming on strong and still have another week or so left in them, raspberries and blueberries are getting ready to explode on the scene. In another month peaches and corn will be in full swing and apples will be next up taking us into the fall.
I love this time of year when local asparagus is a regular on my barbecue grill and fresh market strawberries barely last the trip home.
As the advertising ditty goes “Good things grow-oh-oh in Ontario!”
Enjoy!!
