Late Spring Seasonal Reminder

It’s been a cool wet spring here in South Central. Here’s what’s good to buy locally now

  • Rhubarb, you either like it or hate it. If you like really tart tastes, rhubarb is for you. I like to stew it with just a small bit of butter and sugar. It looks like brownish phlegm when I’m done, but man is it good.
  • Leaf lettuce, when it gets hot, most leaf lettuce will go to seed and get bitter, but for now it’s really good. Green leaf, Red leaf, Butter crunch, all good now.
  • Asparagus, good asparagus should still be stiff, not limp, and have no slime at the tip. Keep it in a small pool of water in your fridge until you’re ready to eat it.
  • Radishes, they are sweet now and will get spicier and hotter as the weather gets hotter.
  • Sugar Peas and snow peas, the peas in the pod will soon get too big so enjoy them now.
