Seasonal produce

Peak-Season Map at Epicurious.com

Check out this seasonal produce map. I've been looking for a good one for what feels like forever, but was only ever able to come up with ones that are too area-specific or too general. This one lists what's in season by month and state. You can grab these things at the grocery store if you like to stick to seasonal eating. Chances are they'll be at their best flavor if you buy them in season, and your grocery store might even stock them from a locally grown source at that time. It's also a good indicator at what will be plentiful at local farmers' markets.

Right now in Maryland, asparagus, spinach and strawberries are where it's at. Enjoy!
