With summer in full swing and temperatures reaching triple digits the past week at least we can rejoice for the abundance of summer fruits and vegetables available to us here in the Central Valley. While some fruit and vegetable plants may be greatly affected by the scorching heat other plants are beginning to thrive. We have our local farmers to thank for our assortment of summer fruits, like peaches, nectarines, cherries, strawberries, tomatoes, and melon, and vegetables such as, corn, zucchini, squash, cucumbers, and bell peppers just to name a few.
