• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

What's in season and when?

The Chasing Delicious website has some great produce calendars to show when many of the common fruits, vegetables, and herbs are in season. Different climates have different seasons, though, so it's really matched up against a calendar to include non-temperate climate fruits such as coconut and dates.

And I think that's neat, but of course they can't list all the fruits and vegetables.

So here's hoping this thread gets somewhere in answering questions for anybody who wants to know when a fruit, vegetable, or herb is in season.

Right now I'm wondering about the seasons for:

Paho. (Magnifera altissima) This source says that they are only in season for a few weeks, but I didn't catch which few weeks. Whoops, I read it more carefully. This is in season during the last week of April until the first fortnight of May.

Longan. (Dimocarpus longan) The common name is Chinese for "dragon's eye". It's like a lychee without the sickly aftertaste. February to May, although there's apparently an autumnal off-season production during September.

Rambutan. (Nephelium lappaceum). August

Right now in Connecticut things like kale and spinach are up as well some onions, peas and garlic. Much of it depends on what the local farmers plant in their greenhouses during the winter. We also had a late spring.
