Bye-bye farmer's markets--boo hoo

Thanksgiving weekend has passed, and that also means that the last farmer's market near my home has shut down for the winter. I'm trying to steel myself for 6 months without fresh, locally grown fruit, vegetables, and other delicacies. I must admit that I envy my mom, sister, and all you Scramble subscribers that live in places with year round produce markets. Maybe this will be the year I find a sunny patch to plant my own vegetable garden in the Spring. Either way, I'll be counting down the long cold days until asparagus, artichokes and peas arrive in Maryland once more.
