Summer is at its peak. Everything that grows is coming to its maturity. It is the time for sunflowers and Queen Anne’s Lace. I had several sunflowers come up where the birds had dropped seeds.
The cicadas are loud and the lightning bugs are making the tall trees light up at night. Bats are flying low, gobbling up insects. Spiders are building fortress webs that will catch you in the face when you walk out your door.
Farmers markets thrive as people attempt to capture all that is good about fresh produce. Corn and tomatoes seem to be favorites.
Homemade green beans just don’t taste as good as they used to. Watermelon also has changed its flavor. It just isn’t as good as it used to be. I don’t think it is me. I think it is watermelon.
What is the best corn to buy this summer? How about the peaches? One week they are great. The next week I couldn’t give them to my dogs.
What are the readers finding good out there?
