Dirty Girl Farms sells the tastiest strawberries at the Santa Cruz farmers markets (both the Wed. and the Sat. one). I found out today why that is: the are Seascape strawberries, apparently a slightly different species than the strawberries usually found in the grocery store and grown as the strawberry monoculture that dominates parts of California. Seascape strawberries are smaller and they are both tarter and sweeter. So delicious! I recommend seeking them out.

I also got the first heirloom tomato of the season. It is golden yellow, nobbly, and hopefully the taste of it will remind me why I've avoided most of the ordinary tomatoes available ion the off season.

Hurray for early summer when eating seasonally!
