Living in California has its advantages for lovers of locally grown organic produce. Aside from the beautiful and warm sunny day, my visit to my local Farmer's Market this morning highlighted the fact the spring is really here! (Finally!) Asparagus and sugar snap peas are suddenly available in abundance. One of my favorite farmers at the Los Gatos Farmer's Market was selling the most enormous bok choy I've ever seen -- like bok choy on steroids. I asked about the gigantic size, and he said their soil in Watsonville is rich and fertile. Naturally, I bought some to have for dinner tonight. There are many reasons I'm thankful that spring is here -- more veggies (and bigger veggies, apparently) is one of them!
