Things You Miss

Too much water this season.

This year especially, but the flavor has been bred out for years now.

I got some great produce at an Amish grocery store in Walnut Creek Ohio a few weeks back.

The tomatoes I've bought this year have been really good. I've been disappointed in the corn.

The watermelons I've bought this year have been terrific

Surprisingly the first tomatoes I was buying at the Loveville Produce Auction in March and April were the best tasting. These were locally grown in hot houses. We were selling them as soon as I took them out of the truck. People were calling in advance to make sure we had them before coming down. But since the tomatoes starting coming out of the fields/gardens, taste hasn't been as good in my opinion.

Agree. The last batch I got from a stand in Callaway a little over a week ago looked nice, ripe, but after 5 days sitting on the counter they were still crunchy and flavorless. He had just picked them from the field.

I get rave reviews for my produce . Green beans were the only thing that didn't do well this year . Tomatoes three kinds, squash two kinds , cucumbers, lettuce four kinds , bell peppers two kinds , hot peppers , onions and a nice papaya plant to boot, won't last but neat to grow.
