Wonderful variety, consistent harvest!

I've been participating in the Free Home Garden summer program for 2 years and love it! I cannot wait for the season to start, especially when I see the higher prices at the grocery store!I'm always surprised by the variety of produce and the great taste...it sure beats store bought! Most of the grocery-store products lack flavor, the produce from the garden is amazing! Maryanne always tries to include a great recipe for some of the produce that her garden grows, and we even receive some lovely flowers in our bags!Early weeks in the season tend to be lighter, but as the weeks progress, more and more food makes it into my weekly pickup. Maryanne's strawberry patch makes up for the lighter-packs during the first few weeks, and as the warmer days approch, the bags get much heavier with lots of variety. My favorite is the Giant Garlic. Kids love seeing where food comes from, and how it is grown, Maryanne always takes time with the younger consumers, and they have a whole new appreciation for their veggies!!!
