I know some growers down around St Louis. Hard-working folk. I'd be
surprised if they didn't have sweet corn by now. I'd bet tunnel tomatoes
have been in for a couple of weeks. Pineapples? No, but peaches should be
coming in soon, especially this year, when everything got an early start.

Saw sweet corn, giant tomatoes & pineapple at a St Louis market this
afternoon. Apparently all locally grown. Too sad to get mad...
