This month's notes: May 2008: Spring is here!: strawberries are starting in the deep South and are peaking or fading in California, Texas and Florida!  Organic farms are still not common, but any that are, have the word ORGANIC by their name! Check out my easy canning directions, and canning equipment or How to make ice cream and ice cream making equipment and manuals
Please tell the farms you found them here - and ask them to update their information!!!

General Ripening Dates for Fruits and Vegetables in Australia

Please note that actual dates of various fruit may vary by as much as 6 weeks due to weather conditions, geographical location of the farm, and other factors. Australia's a big country, with considerable variation in climate. It is always advisable to call a farm earlier than the expected beginning of a season to check on the status of the fruit you are interested in.
