summer harvest
Warm-weather crop gathering
Summer harvest refers to crops gathered during the summer months, typically fruits and vegetables that ripen in warm weather—tomatoes, corn, berries, stone fruits.
The phrase can describe the activity itself or the collective yield: The summer harvest was abundant this year.
Figuratively, it suggests reaping rewards during a period of peak productivity or abundance.
