Too bad you don't live near me. My mom is always trying to give me green beans from her garden because they grow so prolifically. They are good - I don't even cook the things. Wash them off and shove in mouth, chew, repeat, lol. Also I'm about 2 hours away from a place that grows peaches that are competitive against Georgia's. They have a peach festival annually that draws people from other states in the region, so it's a lively festival atmosphere, as opposed to the small town gatherings that are also called festivals.
