As the first peas begin to bloom on the vines, local gardeners look forward to fresh-picked vegetables. But, according to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, those without a green thumb can still enjoy the taste and economy of garden vegetables and be able to freeze and can all that their pantry will hold besides. This agency publishes a booklet called the Virginia Freah Vegetable Guide which lists the thirtyseven pick-your-own vegetable farms in Virginia. The booklet recommends that you call ahead for exact picking dates and field conditions, and tells which farms also offer fresh-picked vegetables.
