Peak season: Finger limes store well in the fridge.Supplied

In now

Finger limes have a six-month season but autumn is peak. Store in a bowl or in the fridge, or peel the juicy vesicles from the skin and membranes and freeze for use on winter oysters.

At their best

Zucchini grow like weeds in late summer. Choose firm, glossy finger-length fruit.

Best buy

The baby roma tomatoes named bello rosso, or variations on that theme, are locally grown bargains.

In the vegie patch

Prepare a bed for broad beans with cow manure and a handful of lime. Seeds rot easily, so sow after a dry spell and don’t water until after germination.
