A great food valuesis to cook with what is in season. Foodland Ontario provides a comprehensive list of what is in season each month. For the month of May, the following are in season either from the garden or greenhouse (as marked with a *):

• Rhubarb
• Strawberries
• Asparagus
• Carrots
• Cucumber
• Lettuce*
• Mushrooms
• Onions
• Peppers*
• Potatoes
• Radishes
• Rutabaga
• Spinach
• Sprouts
• Sweet potatoes
• Tomatoes*

At this time of year, I particularly enjoy making strawberry rhubarb pie, grilled or roasted asparagus, any type of salad (spring bounty chopped salad) and of course any recipe involving sweet potatoes is must! I can’t wait to try these Cajun sweet potato fingers with chili mayonnaise.

Be sure to check out Ontario.ca/Foodland for more recipes and information!
