Summer isn’t my favorite season. I don’t care for 100-degree days with high humidity, ticks embedding themselves in my skin or expensive air-conditioning bills.
But summer is the best season for eating. We’re blessed to have fresh apricots, peaches, Bing cherries, raspberries, honeydew, green beans and other produce available for consumption at fairly reasonable prices this time of year from local grocery stores.
In our own yard we’re benefiting from tomatoes, blueberries and basil that my wife planted. This spring, she also planted a fig tree and sweet potato patch that will yield in the future.
Insects destroyed any harvest from our plum and peach trees. Nevertheless, it’s a great time of year to be eating healthy.
