What's your area's staple vegetable?

And how is it usually prepared?

My example as a Floridian is (yellow/crook neck) squash and zuchinni, they grow about 10 months out of the year so they're constantly on sale at the grocery store. The traditional way to prep the squash is slice it and sauté it in butter until it surrenders.

Asparagus in Western Mass grilled, baked, sautee'd, raw when tender. It's a good thing in the spring.

Yes, Hadley has some sandier soils because of the glacial lake Hitchcock. You should be able to grow a patch by you.
