What's in Season?
This calendar gives you an idea of what fruit and veg is available at what time of the year, so you know what to expect at market or in your box this week. Some crops have short seasons (e.g. new potatoes), while others can go on producing for many months (e.g. spinach, salad leaves). Many crops are harvested and stored for supply throughout the year, such as potatoes, onions and carrots.
