Stefan,

    My interpretation of this is a listing of when to plant the vegetables, rather
than when to reap them.  In season implies when vegetables are ripe to me.  Tusser
is essentially an early farmers almanac with verses for each month of the year, plus
a section on a housewife's day and a set of tables at the back, of which I had
listed one.
