I think it`s allways wise to eat what is in season, depending on where you are. For example you can buy South american asparagus in the winter,in the UK, but it doesnt have the flavour of a locally fresh picked one. There is a PYO farm up the road, and it beats any supermarket produce.
In the shops, it is well worth looking for Morel mushrooms at the moment, as they are in season, don`t bother with the dried ones , you can get those all year.
Cherries should be in season, as the blossom has gone. Our strawberries have there first flowers, so they are on target for June. Imported strawberries just taste of watermelon to me.
I have allways found May a gap time in the garden, the polyanthus`s are fading and the pansies, starting to go leggy. I use sweet williams to fill the colour gap, before the geraniums and bizzy lizzies do their thing.
I was going to do a potato crop this year, but at 34p for 2 kilos, it doesnt seem worth it.
I once was on tour, and was told "This is supposed to a rock n` roll band and all you talk about is your garden!"
