It's the most wonderful time of the year

The farmers' market opened today. Of course, it's still early in the season, but I was happy with what we got. Rainbow chard, for example:

(accompanied tonight by macaroni and cheese).

And strawberries:

When I was a kid, much more of Montgomery County was still farmland. During the summer, we could go up Route 28 from Gaithersburg north and buy produce from out of the backs of pickup trucks, every day of the week. Not that I appreciated it then...but now, I make it a point to patronize every local farm I can, lest they sell out and become another townhouse development full of commuters competing with me for space on the road every day.
