harvest season
Crops coming in
Harvest season is the time of year when crops are ready to be gathered from the fields.
The timing varies by crop and climate—wheat harvest comes in summer, apple harvest in fall.
The phrase evokes agricultural rhythms and often carries nostalgic associations with abundance, hard work, and rural life: We always hired extra hands during harvest season.
