I take my seasonal food cues from my CSA box of produce. We are blessed with a 50 weeks a year for growing on average in the County, so our Farmer’s Markets are year-round and plentiful (but on the coast, they tend to be chi-chi and somewhat expensive so CSAs are a better bargain).

It has taken a while to forego apples year-round (& they are soooo convenient for children) but now I find myself passing them in the store instead of lingering, with an internal debate raging.

Enjoyed reading about your seasons. I grinned with the substitution of Florida for the big California farms. I sometimes get a kick out of taking to task the produce managers of stores with big “local produce” banners, but “local” to them means grown in CA, yet it might be 500 or more miles away.

i really enjoy your blog.
Cheers,
Anna
