dark green = available; light green = sometimes / some farms; White or gray = not usually available
Keep in mind Alabama stretches from the Gulf coast to mountains of Huntsville near Tennessee; so it is a diverse climate.
The information below is a general guide for the whole state. You will need to contact your local farm as their area may suffer
freezes and they may plant different varieties that ripen sooner or later!
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.
These are the typical, historical dates that crops are ready to be picked or harvested in Alabama. Of course, it varies a little bit every year, depending upon the weather and other conditions. And Alabama is a diverse state; crops start (and finish) weeks earlier in warmer southern areas than in colder mountain regions! So, always call the farms well ahead of the dates below to verify!
