“Fresh from the market”
🔵🔵🔵🟡
🔵🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. Today's puzzle was pretty straightforward, especially with that helpful 'Z' on the bottom row.
I began working on it immediately, and quickly connected ZUCCHINI, proving that today's Strands ("Fresh from the market") was about fruit and vegetable produce.
I quickly connected PEPPER to its left and TOMATO above that. This left a neat gap between the two for the spangram of SUMMERHARVEST.
Three answers were left to find in the top half. CORN was at the top in the middle, with CARROT and MELON to its right to complete the puzzle.

“Back it up”
🟡🔵🔵🔵
🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. This could have been a tricky one, with the rather vague theme of "Back it up".
Fortunately, I saw the word "positive" immediately, and shortly after found the word "proof." I connected the two to make the spangram of PROOFPOSITIVE, and was on my way.
That isolated two answers in the top-right corner: FACTS and FIGURES. I then found DATA in the crook of "positive", completing the right-hand side of the board.
Two long words were left to find on the opposite side. SPECIFICS was at the bottom, with STATISTICS above it to complete the puzzle.
