This page has a table below that tells when each fruit or vegetable is normally ready to be harvested in Ontario, Canada! We also have a page with links to our own simple instructions on canning, freezing and drying many fruits and vegetables, such as how to make jam , apple butter , applesauce , spaghetti sauce , salsa , pickles , ketchup or freezing corn .
Keep in mind that Ontario cobvers a wide range of climates and temperatures from Toronto in the south to far colder regions in the north. This table is centered onlower Ontario.
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.
