Harvest takes place all through the year in the United States. There are carrots and pineapples in January, strawberries and salmon in April, green beans and watermelon in July, turkeys and peanuts in November.
In a wonderfully clear and concise text, Cris gives readers a month-by-month sampling of the wide diversity and volume of crops grown throughout the United States.
