I want fresh tomatoes and strawberries, too. Fortunately, there's a farm market just down the street from where I work. Sadly, they're not in season yet. Strawberry season will probably be about 3 days if it's anything like last year. :(
the last couple of years we have had them early june through late September!
That's a nice long season. You must live where it doesn't get extremely hot. We are looking at a few more days for ours to start ripening, but I don't think ours like to produce much in August.
We live in NE Wyoming, and no not too hot, but can snow late and early...burr
I always roast or grill our asparagus.
In oven I place in baking pan and spray with butter pam, or you can use butter, and then season with garlic powder or other seasonings and cover pan with foil and put in oven for 15-20 minutes and it is done! or I put on wooden shish-k-bob sticks or my metal ones and and season and grill them...delicious!!! esp with grilled thick sliced zuchinni and thick sliced sweet onions and green peppers...I can taste them now!
