Because our West Coast weather dictates what grows and when, a trip to the roadside stands changes entirely depending on the month:
Spring brings eager green shoots, early rhubarb, hardy plant starts, potted herbs, and the very first bunches of cut flowers.
Summer peak season brings heavy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, summer squash, fresh garden herbs, baskets of sweet berries, and occasional roadside treats like fresh baking.
Fall rolls in heavy storage crops like winter squash, pumpkins, root vegetables, apples, and preserved goods like homemade jams and local honey.
