Australia Harvest Calendar / Typical Crop Ripening Dates for Australia

General Ripening Dates for Fruits and Vegetables in Australia

Please note that actual dates of various fruit may vary by as much as 6 weeks due to weather conditions, geographical location of the farm, and other factors. Australia's a big country, with considerable variation in climate. It is always advisable to call a farm earlier than the expected beginning of a season to verify on the status of the fruit you are interested in.

This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, Jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You will never need anything else except jars & lids (and the jars are reusable)! There is also a simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a Pressure Canner, if you want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes).
