BLT's-First Time Ever Garden Lettuce AND Tomatoes! Jul 22, 2015 17:20:59 GMT -5 tbird likes this

This is the first time I have had garden lettuce and tomatoes at the same time for BLT's! We are in for a treat tonight. Along with fresh sweet corn that showed up in town yesterday, locally grown.

We have had another truck selling for a couple weeks, but it comes from far away. And I have seen the guy sitting in his truck counting his money when there were no customers. Tacky. I won't buy from him. He once had "free" eggplant. It was soft and yucky. Told him pigs wouldn't even eat it. He said he didn't know much about eggplant.

I simply wait for the best local stuff.

On with the BLT's!

No local corn here, yet, either.
