Sweet, tender organic corn-on-cob says end-of-summer like almost nothing else. While exquisite, corn is very susceptible to pests, particularly silkworms.

Scallions aka green onions, are a fresher, sweeter, milder member of the allium family that never develop a true bulb. Easy on the eyes while chopping and in appearance, their bright green and white color and mild sharpness is a welcome addition to salads, stir fries, omelettes, savory baked goods and more.
