And, what a satisfaction to have a forkful of salad, with no additives! I especially love growing my own herbs.Finally, since gatherings of groups are still discouraged in Central FL, this edition excludes our popular calendar section. We do hope you can find special times to get outside for exercise, fresh air and natural Vitamin D (sunshine). Remember: Better days are sure to come!
