When you're like me, and you love love loves you some fruit & veggies, and you move to a new place, approximately eight thousand miles from where you lived last, and you find yourself on new geography, and the climate is not at all like the one you left, and maybe the people speak your language but they have different names for the vegetables and do not grow the fruits you're used to picking off trees back home, and your local markets are wonderful but not farm-centric,
you can wonder what fruits & veggies are in season month to month.
If you live in London, or anywhere considered Britain, you have a few resources for getting seasonal fruit & veg. And now you have another, What's in Season. A straightforward website with nice portraits of food that grows in the ground, you can be sure I'm posting this on eggbeater so I can refer to it myself.
Thank you What's in Season for letting me know about yourself. I get way too many, "I think you're readers would love to know about--" spam-mails, but this one did seem of interest.
Anyone have any other websites that help you to find local markets & fruit-veg in season?
Wow, what a great resource! I wish there were similar sites for all countries and regions.

Or so I've read
A very good place for freshness and variety is Borough Market.

Thanks for the link - very cool. Dig for Victory, in the UK, is a website aiming to connect people with local food producers/growers/sellers.
A friend of mine works on it and he is enthusiastic about getting more people eating locally and seasonally.
hello Camille, Thank you, as well, for your link! I imbedded it. URLs must be imbedded into comments in order to show up as such. If you want to know how to do this, check out How To create Links in Your Comments which I wrote as soon as I learned the lesson myself. ~ Shuna
