Depends on the big city, but yes. I would not live in the hinterland
because too many of the things I like to do of a cultural nature
(food being a subset) are not available out there.

Where the west coast of North America does have a distinct advantage
is seafood. There is nothing particularly wrong with seafood from the
Atlantic, it's just the population on the east coast is too large for the
amount of available seafood, making supply more difficult.

Wegman's is a treat. I am lucky to live pretty close to two of them,
however, not close enough to make them my main shopping stop
but I go there once in a while. If you're a busy person, their prepared
foods are terrific, too. Great bakery, as you said.

I agree. Broccoli here (Denver area) is usually around $1.49 but often
is on sale for $.88 or $.99/lb.

Have you enough moisture to grow garlic is unattended - that is, you
go out on assignment somewhere?

Truly, it is easy to grow, and you can get a triple-use crop from
it...early scapes, then green garlic, then ripe and ready to dry later
on in the season.

Although it is best to start with a purchased seed crop, once that is
harvested, you have your own stock to use.

Ha - I thought it was a typo of sorts. Do you also say "Do you know
where Jane is AT?"

A fruit/vegetable market that is a stand alone operation. When I was
little my aunt would take me with her to get a watermelon. The
building is the same but I know that it has been through 3 or 4
owners. Sometimes you have to read the sign phonetically since that
is often the way they spell. They get as much local produce as they
can. You will see someone coming in with a container of squash,
melons, anything they happened to have too much of or planned to sell
to him. Last year we sold him asparagus and I think maybe corn the
year before. Not enough to get rich on but we didn't have to pay for
a table at the farmers market or agree to sell a certain amount.

Next time we go down there I will take some pictures.
