Harvest calendar: what is in season when?

Month by month: what is ripe now, what is flowering now, and what you had to plant last autumn to get it. The figures come from the same database Permaplans uses to project a garden across decades.

Where the figures come from

Listed are species with an edibility rating of 3 out of 10 or more that are hardy to USDA zone 7 — that is, they overwinter outdoors in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Mango and cherimoya therefore do not appear in January, although they are in the database. The months describe a temperate northern-hemisphere climate and shift by weeks with altitude, latitude and cultivar. Never forage wild plants on a database alone — only on a certain identification.
