Read about it here.

I tried it out on my iPhone, and it let me know that we have about 2 weeks left in the grapefruit season here in Texas, but we’ll be harvesting peppers for a number of months to come.  I found out that asparagus and rhubarb are currently in season in my home state of New Hampshire.  It also gave me information about farmer’s markets in my area.  So now I know I can go to the Austin Farmer’s Market at the Triangle tonight and buy honeydew melons, knowing they’re local and in season!
