I love fresh produce: ripe tomatoes from my little plant, peppers from my neighbors, and a wonderful selection at the local farmer’s market. But right about now, as much as I love our produce selection, I’d do anything for a good hard frost. This time of year is probably about the worst allergy-wise I will experience and a nice cold snap will make it much better. I know that the decision isn’t really mine to make, but right now if I could choose between fresh produce and my sinuses, well, I would choose my sinuses. As much as I don’t like the idea of giving up fresh fruits and veggies which I hold so dear, I have to tell you know, I’m willing to say au revoir to my tomato plant, if it means I can get out of bed and breathe through my nose again. Fortunately the gourds should hold up well and avocados will be in season soon, and I’m sure it will get nice and frosty, one of these days.
