The Ripley, TN tomatoes are now at the height of their season. Big, juicy,
vine ripened tomatoes, 78 cents/lb. Good thing; I'll be making some sauce
for pasta and the ones I saw are really great. Perfectly ripened!

The yellow squash and zucchini is outstanding as is the zucchini and the
pattypan squash. Nice size, firm and unblemished (shut up, Sheldon!).
Yellow and white corn on the cob looks pretty good but it should be better
in another couple of weeks if it doesn't succumb to this heat.

Peaches and plums look really nice, too. Melons of all kinds, of course.
Other items such as fresh spinach, kale and swiss chard look pretty good.
The broccoli is very pretty :)

What surprises is me is the local produce (yes, they have separate
tables/bins for it) featured at my grocery store of choice, Schnuck's, looks
better than what's at the farmer's market. Perhaps it's the fact that it's
in a nice cool store makes the difference. The prices are also quite on par
with the farmer's market, so I opted to purchase at the grocery store. The
produce hates 100F, I hate shopping in it even more :)
