Road trip to Virginia

I was lucky enough recently to be able to visit my friend, Brijin, from college who is now living in Charlottesville, Virginia. She is an amazing gardener (this terrible picture doesn't do her gardens justice), so I'm glad I was able to visit during harvest season while things were growing like crazy. While I love CSAs, you just can't duplicate the experience of eating a cherry tomato or sugarsnap pea straight off the vine in your own (or a friend's) garden. Luckily, I grew both in my small, but reasonably successful backyard garden this year. Next year I'm going to try adding beets and kale, two of my absolute favorite vegetables.
