    Sondra Ashton|Updated Jun 16, 2023

    “Here” being Jalisco, the Garden State of Mexico, it seems to be either feast or feast. One day it is too many tomatoes. Another day presents a splurge of tomatillos. On to a glut of papaya. Today’s feast consists of a mess of mango. I must have been out of my mind.

    Updated Jun 9, 2023

Some flowers do not improve by doubling up....
