March, 2026 Edition

March, 2026

Welcome to FoodieSite!

March is a month of change. For those at the first tentative signs of Spring, we begin to see some local vegetables, be they coaxed along in hot houses or flown in from the other side of the world. The last of the local autumn harvest has gone, but longer days bring the promise of fresh fruit and vegetables to come as the season gets into full swing. Meanwhile, at the bottom half of the world, or top, depending on prospective, gardens and markets are seeing the first hints of autumn fruit beginning to make tentative inroads into the stalls. There is plenty of choice in the vegetable department, along with the autumn fruits, and a gentle turning of the seasons is evident in the pantry.
