My favorite thing about summer at Lake Sinclair

I love the lake, it's fun.  There is swimming, fishing, camping, skiing and boating to keep you busy, but it's not my favorite things about summer.  My favorite things of summers at Lake Sinclair are vegetables.

Yesterday afternoon when my Donald was walking the puppies he texted me a photo:  and I note that said "zucchini?"  While I was typing my message back to him that said "both and some cucumbers" he was sending another photo.

Yup, he knows me well.  He brought home a big bag of veggies and I was really happy.  And yes, I have to agree with my neighbor that I affectionately call "garden guy" that those are some of the very best cucumbers I have ever eaten.   So last night I cooked some yellow squash with stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes and had fresh sliced cucumbers and tomatoes for dinner.  I expect we'll be having lots of vegetables for the rest of the summer.    "Garden Guy" is my across the street neighbor and he just puts a money box, a scale and some vegetables on a table up by the road daily.  For a few dollars we can eat fresh, organic vegetables every single day all summer.  Actually into the winter usually. We always get our new years day collards from him too.

There are several of these "honor system" stands around the county in different neighborhoods.  Lake Sinclair is a wonderful place to live, visit, and to eat great vegetables.  If you'd like to know the location of one nearest you in the Putnam County area just email me at tammy@lake-sinclair.com or give me a call at 706-485-9668 and I'll let you know where to look.  Also some of the local convenience stores have some for sale on their counters usually as well.  Now, time to start thinking about what's for dinner.

Good afternoon Tammy,

I love the endearing term "garden guy!" How cool..the honor system! I love it..one of the many benefits of living in a smaller town:).

I had a vision of the honor system up here and it wasn't pleasant.

Crab cakes and fresh veggies. Yummy! You are so lucky to have the garden guy in your neighborhood. We don't have anything like to that in Parker.  We have a Farmers Market every Sunday through October and that's as close as we get!

BTW, I was checking on my "followers" today and you are one of the few from my early days that still blogs!

Tammy, We have a few honor stands in our area too.  Always nice to have fresh veggies vs. the ones you find in the megastores.

I would have loved to been invited over to partake in this meal!  Love all the good stuff on the menu!  And I thought about you yesterday when did a post about Farmers Markets . . . wondered if you got stocked up on your corn this year?

Bliz- I try to freeze enough to have in winter, but space is limited.  Nothing like a fresh tomato though

Sharon- yes we walk by 4 times a day with our puppies

Carla- no corn yet, but soon.

Tammy, I love those garden stands.  When we lived in Massachusetts, our neighbor did the same thing but I had to sneak over to get my stuff because when he or his wife saw me, they wouldn't take my money.

Silvia- I understand that.  And I always tend to overpay, first because they are so good and second because he has so much work in it.
