Get Ready for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 23. Besides the


turkey, healthy vegetables, fruits and other gourmet
delicacies bedeck the best tables. Be sure to plan

marketnotes ahead as retail outlets create a major demand pull


and shortages for popular veggies (think green beans
and celery, as well as cauliflower and brussels
sprouts). These may crop up at inconvenient times.
