Teachers should be aware that nowadays we can buy many different cultivars that can mature at different times of the year. These vegetables under Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter are ‚guidelines‘ for the season that we tend to harvest and eat the vegetables in.
For example, you can harvest some onions in summer; spinach can be harvested almost all year round and some carrots can mature as late as November. Potatoes, beans and cabbages, amongst other vegetable groups often come in ‚late, average and early maturity types. C D G E F
