Editor's Note: The following post originally ran last year, but Wallyhood reader, Luna, recently asked us to remind our neighbors about the various ways we can share our ripened surplus fruit. Luna also adds, "If nothing else, suggesting people who won’t eat their crops put a sign in their yards that say something like “help yourself – and leave some for the next person!” Last month’s post about the orchard pruning class resulted in lots of inquiries about what to do with a…

You could call it "Big Wheel Panini" since it's adjacent to Big Wheel Auto Parts (4455 Stone Way N.), or you could call it "Pat's Panini Sandwiches" after its owner, Pat.
