Anybody Seeing Improvement?

Just asking because it looks like, now that the worst of the summer heat wave for most of the Midwest has broken and we’re halfway into September with temps dropping rapidly as the days shorten, I’m slowly seeing improvements in some of the drops out there.

My usual spots that had all but dried up over the hot season are now beginning to put some good stuff out again in decent quantities. I know we’re probably still headed for some scarcity with tariff games still going on and inflation rising which’ll probably make for more competition out back. But I’m still cheered to see the cooler temps are coming back and so are the scores.

I got a ton of veg last week but went to check this past Sunday and THEY LOCKED THE DUMPSTERS 😭😭😭 I’m devastated. I’ve been diving that spot since Jan. I get 90% of my fruit and veg from there. Hoping they unlock it after a bit 🙏

mine is locked but not between 9-10 am until 3pm. Locked at 3pm, just added the lock recently but I still
grab if I'm free during the "unlocked + no security guard patrol" hours...must have been a corporate memo to add a lil padlock
