There is nothing tastier then eating food straight from the garden, especially this time of year when berries are growing wildly and the gardens are full of nutrient packed veggies. If you have ever eaten from your own garden or a friends, you taste the obvious difference. Home grown food is more flavorful and full of life and energy that is then passed onto you, not to mention more colorful and uniquely shaped them commercially grown produce.
If you don't have space for a garden or simply don't have the time, a great way to get the freshest vegetables available is by eating: local, from the farmers market or by participating in a CSA (community sponsored agriculture) program. Eating local helps to sustain your own community as well as keep your body in sync with the natural flow of the seasons.
Enjoy all the fruits and vegetables available this time of year. Try something new when you go to the farmers market, and challenge yourself to make a new dish with summer veggies and fruits.

One thing to keep in mind when growing veggies is the potential for lead contamination in the soil. If planting near adjacent to an older home or in a community garden, it might be worth checking the soil for lead contamination.
