In her book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (fantastic book! Go read it!) Barbara Kingsolver creates an imaginary plant called the "vegetannual" to help visualize when fruits and vegetables will come into season. At the farm today we were discussing when fruits and vegetables ripen and I think the vegetannual is a really easy, fun and useful way to visualize the harvest season. Here is a very excellent example of a vegetannual...keep in mind Barbara Kingsolver lives in Appalachia so her seasons are a little ahead of ours here in Michigan :)
