Our winters are changing and I am tempted to try cool spring vegies, but would also love a decent apple.

We gotta start thinking of growing more foods locally.

I am getting too old to enjoy the kind of gardening I did when I had my 15 acre produce place, but I am encouraging a friend who is very gung ho and who freely shares her bounty.
We are eating organic fresh picked Silver Queen corn, several varieties of old timey tomatoes, lots of zucchini, green beans this week, thanks to her.
