It sounds like you need me to visit your market ( or my market... It only takes one super user per market and I assure you I am almost always there), film everything and then feed that into your website. I like the idea, but it's not complex for my fanatical farmers market mind. It only has two geographic regions and okay 1 is only hours driving from me, but I would be more likely to use it if it was my own region.
Also it has a picture of an avocado and no data about avocados.
And don't get me started on the market availability between the first hour and the last hour because if I keep losing all the caviar limes to the restaurant buying the whole batch I'm going to start camping at 6am.
Some things I hunt for: Concord grapes, pomegranate, caviar limes, raspberries, mara des bois strawberries, amaranth and all types of kale.
ETA: the early girl tomatoes I recall as end of May or June, probably mid June for you. Too late now I think. Those little orange oblong ones are good though and my favorite breed of tomato is Japanese tomatoes. They have almost 100 percent availability at my market too because they have a specialist grower who uses green houses.
There's some code to prefer the produce you select, but there really aren't that many unique fruits in the collection; just lots of varietals of the same fruit.
https://pomological.art/watercolors is pretty neat. You can see that there's 3788 apple drawings, far more than any other, and it quickly dies down to 959 peaches and 445 pears. For any given region, there's only like ~7 unique fruits to draw from.
I don't think so, but when I am driving long distance I do make a habit to stop by all the local markets. The funniest situation was when I went to one in AZ, this one vendor had incredible raspberries just like home. I asked his secret... he had driven hours that morning from my home. He was on his way to selling out though.
Great work, and thanks for sharing the transcript! Just skimming through the chats, I've already learned a lot. Would be so awesome to have this for any region/city, but that is a data problem to solve.
Per the small text at the bottom of the poster I would say they are based on shipment volumes -so how much is available. The lighter colour probably indicates variation depending on how good the growing season is
Yes, this is correct. Realistically, you only care "is it there", and "is it there and good", and those are the two levels. For SF, I'm using shipment volume as a proxy for ripeness, on the assumption that the best produce occurs when you're shipping the most of it. The shaded parts are when the annual history says that it's only good in some years but not others.
There's no y axis labeled or marked, the visual is vertically spreading each curve out so it's not all one big color jumble. Not sure what the second color means exactly either.
I probably should mention that I'm looking for new opportunities. My LinkedIn is at https://www.linkedin.com/in/perspectivezoom and you can reach out there or at [email protected].

If you're referring to the middle left picture in SF, that's actually a plum from Vacaville, CA: https://pomological.art/watercolors/POM00005135.

Congrats again!
I decided against a legend because I thought that it was self evident. Maybe not... https://vertumnus.fyi/about/transcript?view=topic%3Aposter-f...
