I have plenty of farmer’s markets near me and no end of variety of veggies to but, but nothing quite compares to snacking of the “fruits” of your own labor.

Very true! I love making salsa from our garden vegetables and our mulberries give us good jam.

Since the first week of the month, we've been harvesting our two tomato plants - one with Early Girl and the other a Cherry......wifey loves 'em, and we've probably still got close to ten pounds sitting in the kitchen for further processing.

She cooked down the first batch we plucked and froze three quarts of her version of homemade V8 juice.

(We're in the California desert, and normal tomato growing season doesn't work for us - by April, they're cooking on the vine.)
