COPIOUS CONCORDS
Whether wild grown or in backyard arbors, this is the time of year for wonderfully fresh concord grapes. With the recent rain, they are ripe and ready to be picked over the next week or so. If you're hankering for a handful, or bucketfuls to turn into grape juice, grape jelly, grape pie - or whatever - we know where they are available for nothing more than your willingness to pick them. And if you've never tried "putting something up" this is the perfect product with which to learn. Simple, easy and DELICIOUS! Let us know if you want to pick or learn and we'll put you in touch with the right people. Contact kaycarroll@aol.com

Anna Gill's column this week is about zucchini. Apparently, though a native of the Americas, it was not well known at U.S. tables until about 50 years ago. The Spanish took it to Europe, where Italy embraced and developed it and brought it with them when they emigrated to the U.S. And we're glad they did! Not only a new recipe in the column, but reference to many others that are on the website. .
