Here in the big city you can't really tell from what's for sale in the
market what season it is. Between Mexican farms and greenhouses, and
an immense amount of fresh (?!) food brought in from Chile and even
Thailand and who knows where, most previously seasonal stuff is
available 365 or close to it.

TJ's is selling fresh apples now, says product of USA so I assume
they've been in storage for six months, but they looked great and I
tried some and there were great! A couple of different varieties of
gala-ish apples, smaller sizes.

Actually I went to TJ's the other day just for fresh veggies, pretty
amazing right there. Mostly the pre-bagged stuff, romaine hearts,
organic beets, shiitaki mushrooms, celery hearts, I've bought a lot of
fresh tomatoes at TJ's but am currently sort of off them, ... and OK I
also got some frozen breakfast burritos, my current indulgence.

Very little canned stuff I get at TJs, the salmon, and ... I used to
get a lot of their chilis, not terrible, but haven't been doing that
recently either. Bottled olives and pickles. Lot of frozen stuff.
"Fresh" nuts in bags. Baked goods. Vitamins. Pasta. Eggs and
dairy. They don't have a whole lot of canned stuff, not their image,
among other things. They discontinued a three(four?)-bean salad I
used to get.
