We tend to follow the harvest with fruit. When apples come in we pretty much go hog wild and taper off through out storage season. During blueberry season we eat right form the bushes in our yard and supplement with farm bought or at our friends or we go picking or D) all of the above. We freeze a fair amount and sometimes make jam. Strawberries come in and it's the same damn thing. We usually buy about 40 qts from the farm and freeze them (about $100) and make strawberry banana smoothies all winter and spring. In the winter oranges come into season and we eat those until they start to taste like winter tomatoes.

For me I love food too much to eat shitty food. I used to be a bread whore, now I will only eat really exceptional bread. If it's not a party in my mouth then it's not invited or something like that. We freeze a lot of swiss chard, beet greens, collards, etc. and eat those all winter. In the spring we have tons of sugar snap peas and we eatthose until we are sick of them which coincides with when they have gone by. It seems to work out well that way. Just when you can't stand to eat another bite of something it is no longer in season and the next thing is.

Especially in winter, eating all those storage crops like carrots and squash and parsnips, and beets and grains and meat, by the time spring gets here you can see why people would eat dandelion greens. They're the first friggin green thing in six months. Eat those fuckers on down!

Yeah, most days I do my five and a couple of the ones the rest of you missed.
