My favorite part of late summer/early fall......is not the fact that my kids are heading back to school and that means that they are another year older *sigh*.

No.....it is the fact that sweet corn is available at every farmers market and at street vendors all around town.

 

I consider myself VERY lucky:  I have a family of farmers and gardeners.  They range from having only a single rhubarb plant tucked into their landscape someone, to having a simple garden of tomatoes/peppers/green beans, to full out farmers with hundreds of acres of land that they use to help keep America fed.
