There's nothing better than eating fresh from the garden fruits and veggies! But when we buy from the store, that can be just as tasty, as long as the fruits or veggies are in season. So, when are the best time for say, carrots? I did some "digging," and found out!

There's something about fresh Asparagus for a side dish to complement a meal. My Mother has it growing wild in the orchards by her house, I always feel super spoiled when I get to take a big ole bag home.

Apples, I mean, is it even Washington State if we don't talk about apples?! Apple Capitol of the world and for good reason! We get to live in a state with the freshest apples known to man! Let us feast!

May your gardens be forever in good standing and your green thumb thrive!
