garden-ready tomato plants at Norman Mullet Farm

Spring Won’t Last Forever

Here we are at the end of May, which means Summer is coming in just a few more weeks and warmer weather will bring the end of asparagus and peas and strawberries. Seasonal eating means making use of what is here now and enjoying it thoroughly while it lasts. The end of Spring also means the window to get your gardens and flower beds planted will be closing soon as true growing season kicks in. Get Dirt Rich is here for just two more Saturdays at the Market with composted gardening soil. Many vendors still have plenty of vegetable, herb, and flower plants available for your gardening needs. It’s a time of wonderful possibilities. Come to the Market and celebrate the season with us!

WHAT’S COOKING: Quintessential Spring Salad

I looked at dozens of spring salad recipes this week and saw things I liked about many of them but nothing just right. I finally decided to create my own with all the ingredients I wanted to see in my salad and none of the things I didn’t. Here is what I came up with…
