What to buy in August - Part I Vegetables

Today is #fruitsandveggiesmonday by @lenasveganliving. Inspired by this I am going to start something I plan to continue for at least the next 11 months: What to buy in ... 

Because I am vegetarian and a fighter for a thoughtful, peaceful and sustainable lifestyle I try to buy foods that are (vegan and) regional and organic produced, which are not wrapped in ridiculous huge amounts of plastic and not least vegetables and fruits that are in season.

Because of regional differences depending on which part of the world you live in this might be no exact guide for you to buy your fruits and veggies in season. If you're not living in Middle Europe or maybe parts of Northern America you at least can see this as an inspiration to think about and buy what's in season in your neck of the woods.

At first my vegetable list:

any kinds of tomatoes ~ Tomaten

hokaido pumpkin ~ Hokaido Kürbis

zucchini ~ Zucchini

fennel ~ Fenchel

garden radish ~ Radieschen

any sorts and colors of salad ~ Salat

green beans and savory ~ Grüne Bohnen und Bohnenkraut

green peas ~ Erbsen

bell peppers ~ Gemüsepaprika

mini bell peppers ~ Snack Paprika

turnip cabbage ~ Kohlrabi

cucumbers ~ Gurken

chanterelles ~ Pfifferlinge

spinach ~ Spinat

beet roots ~ Rote Bete

horse radish ~ Rettich

brokoli ~ Brokkoli

cauliflower (I love the new colors!) ~ Blumenkohl

swiss chard ~ Mangold

aubergines (I didn't now that there are so many differnt kinds!) ~ Auberginen

carrots (last but not least, and what I love most that the old sorts are back on the green market) ~ Möhren

These were the things that are in season in the middle european August. This list is without any claim to completeness. Feel free to tell me if you think I missed something important. Thank you in advance!
