Right now, she is playing with apricots. She is buying Regier's Castlebrite variety and using if for pie, jam, panna cotta and more. A recipe for her cherry apricot jam is here.

    Romeo Coleman's family's farm stand sells a variety of greens and herbs. Some of their herbs are flowering - like their tarragon, thyme and cilantro. Letting the herbs flower allows for the cultivation of beneficial insects. Use them for decoration. Pictures of their cilantro and thyme are here.
