To avoid this, I've decided to get a head-start for next week (yet "again"). I'm in a small slump and really need to get out of my comfort zone. In the spirit of spring perhaps I need to try some other.... colored green? Which brings me to this.
I came across the CUESA (Center for Urban Education and Sustainable Agriculture) website today and happen to notice that they have a beautiful seasonality chart laid out to help guide seasonal veggie consumption. I've really been looking for one of these for a couple of weeks now, actually, so I thought I'd share!
Apparently these are the choice vegetables for the month of May. I've highlighted my favorites in green and the ones I've never heard of (and arguably probably need to try) in orange :-).
