yup!

Yup, from my backyard deck. Yummmayy! Of course my tomatoes are almost dead from the heat. We will re-plant this week to get our fall crop before the cold weather comes in.

From a good friend's farm surrounding his business warehouse:  blueberries, basil, eggplant, squash, zucchini, red potatoes, tomatoes, green peppers and other peppers, okra, field peas, flowers and I'm sure I've forgotten other produce.  It's been fun.  I supplement all of this with home-grown rosemary, thyme, cilantro and more basil; the rosemary and thyme go year-around.

"Yup, from my backyard deck". YEP, but unfortunately, I only have 3-4 months to do so here in the East. I plant the garden in April. And, by late Sept everything dies. :-(

"Locally grown" sure beats for instance "imported from Chile or Equador" for heaven's sake. But, here in the East the season is too damn short. :-(

Just finished reading "Animal, Mineral, Miracle" a great book about one family's quest to eat locally for a year. Great reading and it will make you think twice about buying strawberries in February....
