Ah, farmer's market season.

The onset of summer means not just vacations, warm weather and sun, but the bounty of Iowa's farms and gardens. And I love it.

I stopped by the Thunder Ridge Farmer's Market Wednesday. This early in the season, at one of the town's lesser-known markets, there were only three vendors. But those three offered bread, seedlings, basil, garlic, onions, cucumbers, beets, radishes, flowers, asparagus, rhubarb and more. I had to snap some photos.

Share your photos here. If you take any photos at the markets around town, share them! Just click the "Upload photos and videos" button above. What's your favorite farmer's market offering? Tell us in the comments.
