This page has a table below that tells when each fruit or vegetable is normally ready to be harvested in Brazil! We also have a page with links to our own simple instructions on canning, freezing and drying many fruits and vegetables, such as how to make jam, apple butter, applesauce, spaghetti sauce, salsa, pickles, ketchup or freezing corn.
Notes about Brazil:
Brazil's weather is very tropical, Rains in Brazil are similar to those in Florida, pop-up summer storms. Keep in mind that in the Southern Hemisphere, spin is opposite to the Northern Hemisphere, low pressure systems spin clockwise and high pressure systems spin counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
