What's In Season This Summer?

Updated


Summer runs from June to September, and a variety of fruits and vegetables reach the peak of their growing season during these warm weather months. What may be available to you locally depends on the climate, and harvest times differ from region to region. Be on the lookout for ripe berries, juicy melons and crisp greens at the market.

Some fruits and vegetables aren't in season for very long (in fact, a certain rose-hued fruit is only available fresh-picked for about one month), so stock up! Learn what to look for when buying them and how best to store them, so you can make the most of this season's harvest.

Check out our slideshow above to discover 15 foods that are in season in the summer.
