Today marks the "unofficial end of summer" as the local news programs are so fond of telling us. Yes, we're in September now and the nights are getting cooler, the kids are going back to school and the baseball pennant races are heating up.
But for those of you who have enjoyed all the wonderful fresh produce our area has provided throughout the summer, don't despair. There's plenty more still available.
Most farmers' markets are still going strong through at least the end of September with lots of great stuff for the taking--tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, greens, squash, watermelon. Not to mention those crops that come in during the cooler months--broccoli, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, a variety of root vegetables, pumpkins and so much more.
So don't let the "end" of summer get you down. Keep on enjoying the fruits of our local farmers' labors and eat well for weeks to come!
Have a safe and fun Labor Day!
