seasonal availability chart for fruit and veg?
I have just spent half an hour on the internet trying to find a seasonal availability chart for fruit and veg in the U.K. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers!

Do you need a chart for a specific purpose?
Basically seasonal fruit and veg are the ones that are in abundance in the farmers markets and are relatively cheap.

thanks heaps for the replies, the links are great, I have just arrived from the southern hemisphere, so things are all a bit back to front for me, it's great to have a reference chart.

The River Cottage website also has a chart with links to recipes for relevant ingredients. http://www.rivercottage.net/WhatsGoodNow/Default.aspx

We had a great time. I hope we can come back this year or next. I want to drive from Melbourne and do the whole great ocean road then the western parts of vic. I want to stay in the barossa or similar area next time so we can just do one or two wineries in a day.
