It's a strange season here in the Hudson Valley. Feels like high summer - almost 100 degrees yesterday - but the gardens are still in their infancy. Two weeks ago we had sleet. Wandering the farmers' markets is discouraging; what you want is corn, tomatoes and berries, but what you find is kale, arugula, a few salad greens. And, if you're lucky, the last local asparagus. Peas? They're long-gone.
