Fresh peaches are local, as well as corn, sometimes lots of corn available. I also see fresh tomatoes and watermelons along the side of the road.

I have never seen cherries like that. Do they taste similar to red cherries?

Fresh steamed and buttered Asparagus...Spinich Tortellini in Fresh Marinara Sauce...and a nice T-Bone Steak... and for desert...Fresh Blueberries and Rasberries with whipped cream...wash it down with a nice bottle Pinot and make an appointment with my Cardiologist...

Live near farms and their produce stands, tomatoes bigger than softballs, yellow watermelons etc . The tomatoes are vine ripened and were on the vine in the last 2 days

We have the freshest all year round in South Africa. We bought online during lockdown. It's starting to warm up here again and down to level 3 so hopefully I can pick and choose soon again, not that buying online wasn't a good deal.

That all looks good. I love the abundance of everything, especially more daylight in the summer months and less chance of rain, so starrier nights.

I love the farmer's markets as well and we get them all year long (except during lockdown). In the country some towns have them on Saturday morning and some on Sunday so if you're willing to drive you can spend the weekend mornings at them. I love the different foods as well, different fruit, veg, meats, cheeses, breads, sauces and pickles. Though more than once I've bought something that looked interesting only to have to throw it out when it expires.

I like farmer's markets but the newly hired woman at my work brought in tomatoes for all of us recently and they were really good. The store bought ones taste like cardboard to me and so do some of the venders tomatoes too.

Summer last 5 to 6 months in Phoenix, AZ. Then it cools off some until the beginning of the new year. Then it starts to warm up in spring.

Love my little garden, I grow 3 things really well, cucumbers, tomatoes and pot........

Definitely the fruit. My growing season is in winter (the desert) and very definitely my leafy greens are my joy. Not to mention the tomatoes and the beets.

There are two things money can't buy: true love, and the taste of a home grown tomato. But summer is also time for basil which means pesto. I make it in big ass batches, then freeze in ice cube trays, wrap the cubes and save frozen to use throughout the year. BUT, I save back some fresh for pesto chicken.

Fresh tomatoes. Mine are just starting to ripen. I have 4 plants which will give me tomatoes every day through November. The farmers market here is pretty sad, more craft than produce, and the produce is iffy.

Air conditioning and sundown.

I do like the local Farmer's Market when I can get there. I grow tomatoes and herbs during the summer, my garden makes me happy. The heat and humidity of summer I just tolerate, barely. Give me fall and spring, I can skip the summer heat and winter storms.

Halters and short shorts. (I don't mean wearing them; I mean seeing them worn. ) (I know, I'm a pervert, but hopefully a chivalrous and lovable one.)

Corn, peaches, and watermelon .

My joy of summer is the arrival of fall.
