This month's notes: May 2012: Blueberries are ripe only during July in most places, don't miss them! 2011 is a great year for blueberries most areas! In general, strawberries are starting in the far northern and cooler areas, and finishing in most of the U.S., and are finished in the South. Peaches will be starting in July.
