The best times to plant and harvest fruits depend on your local climate and the specific fruit varieties. Many university agricultural extensions provide free regional fruit calendars and guides, like this one from [https://extension.umd.edu/growit/fruit-nuts-vegetable-instructions]. These list optimal planting and harvesting windows based on your climate zone and frost dates. You can also use charts of bloom, fruit development, and chill hour requirements to estimate timing. Keeping records each year helps you fine-tune for your microclimate. Local nurseries are another great resource for region-specific advice.
