They are from the farmer's market and I think we will actually eat all of them instead of letting them rot in the fridge like we normally do.
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Tomatoes and strawberries are great from a road side market or home grown. Grocery store ones are always shit
Do you have any other suggestions for stuff that's much better if it's home grown? I'm going to build a small garden soon. The only other thing already on my list is some greens and maybe bell peppers, but that was a nostalgia request from my partner.
Edit: All these suggestions have changed my planned garden from 8x4 to 8x16. The missus will be pleased.
Tomatoes, strawberries, onions, carrots, peppers, and green beans were what I recall growing as a kid and they were all vastly superior to grocery stores.
We also had a local farm which was comparable to home grown nearby, which was nice when we had the occasional bad crop.
Carrots. Good carrots are so much sweeter than story bought.
Irregularly shaped and colored carrots are almost always better than the uniform monstrosities sold in stores.
Green beans.
~~Green~~ Yellow wax beans you mean.
Cucumbers! I like store bought cucumbers just fine but fresh cucumbers are not just inoffensive crunch water. They have a melon taste which is sublime.
With all these suggestions I might need to build two planters after all!
Personally I find home grown potatoes delicious but they are a lot of work.
We usually planted green onions, and various herbs too.
Because the ones at the grocery store are bred to be both big and shelf stable as long as possible whereas home grown it'll spend at most a few days in the fridge before it begins to rot
The strawberries in the store seem to rot within a few days as well in my experience.
Sure but how long did it take for the berries to make it from the farm to your fridge?
Never had the rot issue at home, the grocery store ones just turned to mealy graining mush and mold quickly where we are.
