Butting in. I agree 100%. Eating seasonally is HUGE with me, though of course I CAN eat things out of season as I CAN them when they're IN season...and cheaper! ;) I can't stand the cost and wasted resources of Strawberries in February in Wisconsin. Come on, People! Finishing up the Rhubarb and Asparagus at our house - Strawberries are on deck next, but need to ripen.

Besides tasting better, things were just more special when you didn't have them anytime you liked, but had to wait for THEIR time.
(And I think its de rigueur to butt in on your own thread :-)

A freeze got ours (strawberry buds, and quite a few other things in the region, too.) :-(
