Full Metal Jacket Reach Around: The Fresh Veggies Edition

Today's FMJRA features the fresh veggies now in season at Ed Lester Farms in Coushatta.  Steve and I made a trip down there today and stocked up on two bushels of purple hull peas, half a bushel of butter beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow squash, new potatoes, sweet onions, hot peppers, bell peppers and sweet corn.  Oh, and fresh blueberries which I made into a cobbler tonight.

The season will be short this year.  There hasn't been much rain.  We'll make at least one more trip before the season is over, but at least for now, my freezer is stocked and we'll have peas all winter!
