[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Tina-- Are you in South Carolina? Some of my people are from there! Laurens County area. You know, I would come back, or I would come back for part of the time (my dream is to live here 1/3 of the time, in the Rockies, 1/3 in the South, near home, and the other 1/3 in Umbria, but we do dream on!), but right now, it doesn't work (jobs, kids in school, that sort of stuff!). I do visit the family in Atlanta about once a year. Glad to know the produce stands are still there. We have them here, too, actually. Colorado actually grows a pretty respectable peach, and that's saying a lot, coming from someone who knows Georgia and South Carolina peaches (and being Georgia-born, willing to admit that South Carolina peaches are indeed better than the ones from Georgia!).

We still have farmers' markets and produce stands in South Carolina. I bought collard greens, sweet potatoes, and acorn squash from farmers yesterday. I don't buy tomatoes, peppers and eggplants because I grow them in the back yard, but we have fresh produce available year-round on the side of most country roads. It's good eatin!
