What's in season in Texas
Hot summers push many crops early; spring and early summer are the busiest harvest months, while the cool-season vegetables peak in winter. Peak windows below are typical for the South Central region; exact timing varies year to year and across the state, and your local farmers market is the best real-time guide.
Texas Rio Grande Valley grapefruit is a winter crop; Hill Country peaches peak in early summer.
