The Early Bird Gets the... Strawberry?
There's a chance, just a chance, that you might find some strawberries hanging on by a thread from their spring reign. These little ruby jewels are a true sign of summer's approach, and if you snag some, savor them – they're a fleeting reminder of warmer days to come.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
But Wait, There's More (Like, Way More)
Just because May is a bit of a fruit desert doesn't mean you have to resort to candy bars (although, hey, no judgment). Here's a sneak peek at what's coming down the pike:
 |
- June: Get ready for a berry bonanza with blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries! Plus, tart cherries will be making their grand entrance.
- July: The party really gets going with peaches, nectarines, and juicy melons. We're talking summer fruit salad dreams come true.
- August: Same amazing line-up as July, plus some early apples for the fall fanatics.
- September & October: Apples take center stage, with all your favorite varieties – from the tart Granny Smith to the honey-crisp Fuji.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
