In their season

There is nothing better to eat than fresh fruits in their season. January is when citrus fruits are plentiful, and I like to have enough grapefruit and tangerines to satisfy me til the next winter rolls around. It isn’t until April or so that other fresh produce starts peaking, asparagus around Easter time, then strawberries in May, peaches in June, and blackberries in July. By August, we have a big range of fresh choices from the garden, melons, beans, peppers, with apple season on its heels. Fall’s colorful best are sweet potatoes, broccoli and cranberries. Isn’t it wonderful that Mother Nature planned something healthy for us to enjoy year round?
