In the Garden

Try to get your ingredients from locally sourced markets or if possible, grow your own. 

Home grown or local vegetables just plain taste better.  You know what goes in and reap what comes out.

Seed starting kits and hydroponic gardening  can give you a head start as well as be more economical.

Fresh home grown herbs make a difference in flavor.  They also add nutritional value over shelf stable, dried herbs.

Mixing in edible flowers with your produce make the garden visually appealing as well.  Nasturtiums pair well with celery here.

Choosing vegetables when they are at the peak of their season just tastes better.
