I have no idea what those terms mean! I just watch for sales. :)
waning-toward the end of the season, about to phase out.
peak-when they are the most abundant and are probably the cheapest.
new-at the the beginning of the season.
you should post that! people like me aren't up to date with produce jargon and terminology.
