Kentucky Harvest Calendar - PickYourOwn.org
When fruit and vegetables are normally available and ready to pick in Kentucky!
What's in season in May 2024, and other timely information:
dark green = available; light green = sometimes / some farms; White or gray = not usually available
The light green indicates light crops at the beginning or end of a season - dark green is when the bulk of the crop ripens and picking is best.
