I was thinking that damn, it's hard to eat local (or regional) but hey, all our meat is local. That's got to count for something. The only thing I've got growing is herbs, but my basil and rosemary are absolutely flourishing. I just wish I had more basil plants. I'm actually wondering if it's not too late to start some more seed ... I did make peach cobbler this past week from local (regional?) peaches when we had guest (!) for dinner. The only thing wrong with it is the leftovers. I can't keep eating them! Someone else has to! Please, what is pattypan?

I owe you an email response...the Black Krim pic you sent me was lovely...and had me drooling over your vast expanse of empty countertop! Oi. I'm always taking my kitchen photos with such a huge mess in there. Guh. I keep thinking about going to pick up peaches to can, but I think I'm just going to skip it this year. I froze some blues. I'll do something with apples next month. Though I should at least make a peach cobbler. I'm a big fan of regionalism, which is a form of localism. I think we really need to invest in the infrastructure of regional food systems and we need to do it now. I'm still enjoying EATING my chard. It's one crop that's done very well this season and is so sweet and tasty! Marcy!

I appreciate the wondrous veg at the farmer's markets even more! Itching to hear about what you are itching to write about now garden winds down! Singing!!!

No mention of berries and now no mention of the food that currently consumes my time and effort: peaches. I may not grow them myself but there is a magnificent crop this year, local and regional, so I'm canning peaches, making jam, chutneys and salsas. Not tomorrow (Saturday) though; wicked heat and humidity expected here. Btw, I saw a headline recently but skipped over it and now I can't find it. Something about buying regional being as or more important that buying local. Have you seen anything like that? Still enjoying your photos of the chard.
