summer bounty
Garden's peak yield
Summer bounty refers to the abundant produce available during summer months—fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs at their peak.
The phrase evokes farmers' markets overflowing with tomatoes, corn, berries, and squash: We filled our baskets with the summer bounty.
It suggests nature's generosity during the growing season, often with connotations of wholesome, local eating.
