We are big veggie eaters in this house. I keep canned ones as backup but I
try to buy fresh ones at least once a week. I don't personally care for
frozen ones but I will sometimes add them to a soup or stew. And now that my
gardener has eaten all of my frozen peas and carrots, I will for sure look
for good deals on frozen ones an keep some for him. I also keep some dried
veggies. Mainly onion, celery leaves and jalapeno but sometimes bell
peppers.

Our favorites are fresh veggies though. Do you have a top 10 list of fresh
veggies that you always or almost always keep on hand? I realize some are
seasonal. For instance, I love bell peppers but they can get expensive and
aren't always good looking this time of year. My top 10 would be:

1. Celery
2. Carrots
3. Onions (white and yellow, sometimes sweet or purple)
4. Tomatoes
5.Lettuce
6. Other greens such as spinach, Swiss chard or kale
7. Potatoes (different varieties)
8. Broccoli
9. Summer squash
10. Sweet Peppers

And this time of year I usually buy sweet potatoes and winter squash quite a
bit. I also love fresh green beans but I only buy them when they look good.

We grow our own, so they are all seasonal.

I find it quite nice to have certain veggies at certain times of the year,
such as Asparagus in May, Courgettes/Marrows in July August and Squash in
October etc.

I would love to grow Aubergines in the greenhouse, but they are normally a
failure; although we did get some decent melons this summer.

If we have a lot, we freeze them until we need them.

Onions will usually keep over the winter if dried out enough on the ground in
late summer.

This is the time for winter veg such as Parsnips and Brussels sprouts which
are best after a few frosts.

We had lots of ripe peppers this year because of the hot and sunny summer
(UK), and so most are now sliced and bagged in the freezer waiting to be used
in meals.

I probably do but I don't want to share that with you and give you
more reasons to babble on and on about what you and your gigolo do
or don't eat or whcih stores you can or can't get them at. So since
nothing constructive can become of it, I'm going to take a pass on
this one.

ObFood: For breakfast I'm sure I had something Julie and her gigolo
can't or won't eat.

Mushrooms aren't a vegetable, they're a fungus... I keep dried and
canned, Dehy veggies are good for soups but not for salads.

I used to buy dried mushrooms at Costco but after that big recall, I
stopped.
