Hi Wendy,

Raley's is starting to sell organic "Nevada" grown (meaning my
state) produce. And, you are correct: tastes a lot better!
The (organic) produce from Mexico is terrible.

And, I bought my first tomatoes from the local CSA farm.
Needed a little more ripening, but oh man the taste!

I have about 20 green tomatoes on my vines. Two are showing
a shade of red. And I have about five bugs on my zucchinis. Won't
be long now!
