Seasonal Fruit and Veggies!!

Hey all,

I luuuuurve fruits and veggies.  Sometimes though, it seems like they're not as tasty as I remember them to be.  They're flavorless, or hard, or the color is off.  It's probably because they're not in season!!  Well, down below is a marvelous chart for all sorts of produce, for the months that they will be the most in season!  That means packed with flavor, nutrients, and that probably fewer chemicals were needed to ripen them.    
This also means you'll know what to look for in the store during different times of the year!  Chances are, when a fruit or veggie is in season, it may be coming from a more local farm, rather than from across the country.  Sometimes.  Regardless, it's a good way to get to know your produce, to know what works, to know what you really like (when it's properly ready to eat), and to try to support your local farms!
Hehehehe, what happens with me, is that when something is in season, for example, peaches, I will eat gazillions of them.  I will gobble up every juicy, delicious peach in sight.  Within a month or so, I can't stand the sight or smell of another damn peach.  Thank goodness they won't be ready again for another 11 months!  It makes it perfectly acceptable to overindulge in fruit and veggies, because by the next season, you will be craving them again and you'll know that you will be getting the best produce you can!  Enjoy the chart folks!
