As Linette reminds us over at Mother Earth’s Garden, tomatoes are just starting to ripen around the Midwest and the Northeast. So are zucchini, eggplant, peppers, and a host of other vegetables.

The next time you’re invited to a cookout, potluck, or holiday dinner, volunteer to bring the vegetable tray. It’ll ensure you have something healthy to munch on during the party, and you won’t have to worry about what you’re going to do with all that leftover cake.
