4. Watermelon!

Pretty hard to eat in the winter, easy in the summer.

If it was winter I'd smash 'em! Of course I wouln't buy 'em to smash 'em.

Steal 'em maybe.

5. Fresh tomatoes.

I have become a total tomato snob.
The ones in the supermarket suck because they're bred to be shipped. They are pretty and red and solid, and they taste pretty much like their shipping containers.

During the summer, I can get real heirloom tomatoes, that have been bred for taste. They can be ugly, and even have sun scald on them. But they taste like tomatoes.

During the winter, I pretty much stick to canned tomatoes for sauces and such, and grape tomatoes (which ship OK naturally) if I really must have them fresh.

6. Basil

I can buy it in BIG bushells in the summer for 99 cents..in the winter I refuse to pay $2.50 for six half rotten leaves in a plastic container

21. When I was little that's the only time we ate fresh

Vegtables were more expensive in the winter time since they had to be shipped from down south. We were poor when I was in early elementary school so my mother couldn't really afford fresh fruit and vegtables. She said that the California stuff was inferior anyway. We ate frozen vegtables then. I think canned veggies were cheaper but my mother didn't like them.
