Produce: What's in Season?

If you're wanting to eat more fresh produce and mind the budget then knowing what's in season right now can save you some bucks at the check out.  We are so used to having everything available that we have forgotten that just like flowers, fruits and veggies have a time they grow best and it varies with each type of produce.  Here's a list of what's fresh and in season right now:

Avocadoes
Beets
Bell Peppers
Corn
Cucumber
Eggplant
Garlic
Green beans
Jalapēno Peppers
Lettuce
Mushroom 
Peaches
Summer Squash 
Tomatoes

Lower prices are seen on the items that are in season v. those that are not.  Generally speaking, these items should be less expensive but your location may predict prices as well.  Check your local ads for the best prices and whenever possible, buy organic to reduce your exposure to pesticides.
