Fresh harvests, rather than shop availability
A crop appears when growers in the UK normally harvest it during that month. The calendar excludes imports and produce available only from long-term storage, heated greenhouses, or other protected methods.
British apples sold in winter may have been stored after harvest. A blank fruit month does not mean shops have no British fruit.
This is a selected catalogue of common fruit and vegetables, not a complete list of every crop in the UK. Herbs, mushrooms, nuts and rhubarb are outside its scope. Tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers are grouped with vegetables.
Seasons vary across the UK
This is an approximate national guide, not a local crop forecast. Weather, latitude, altitude, cultivar, and farming method can shift harvest dates by several weeks. Harvests may begin earlier in warmer areas and later in cooler areas.
Use the calendar to plan seasonal meals, then check what's being harvested by growers near you. The month ranges describe typical seasons rather than a prediction for this year's weather.
UK calendar sources
The catalogue draws on RHS fruit gardening calendars, vegetable crop planning and harvesting guidance, alongside the council's seasonal eating guide. Read the source guide and methodology for how evidence is selected.
