That will let you choose your location and season, then give you a list of what is in season and when.
The knowing if things are good is a little more tricky though...other than asking people, I am not really sure. If there is a farmer's market near you try them, often the people selling and buying there are more than happy to impart some knowledge on how to tell if something is ripe/good or not.

(I have also been known to call the people I know that would have such information when I am well and truly stuck - they might laugh, but usually they will help you out!)

I'm not an expert in the " seasson " stuff either - but.. the easiest way to tell for me is looking at the prices

When a lbs of peaches is 1.50 -1.80 $ i don't think it's in the season because i know " there is a time of the year where i can buy 2-4 lbs for 0.99 $ -
Or grapes go from 2 $ per lbs- to 0.67 $

This is my way of telling " something is cheap now- so it must be in season ..

Watch the store ads and you will figure it out - esp. farmers markets they always have the " season stuff " on sale ..

The butternut squash and spaghetti squash i remeber paid one time at wal mart each about 7 .00 $
i didn't know when the season is either but i wanted to try them out- last week at a farmers market i paid 1 $ each
so i guess that's their season

Good luck
