Homonym: In-Season (Fresh)
"In-season" refers to the period when a particular crop, fruit, or vegetable is at its peak for growth and harvest. During this time, the produce is typically fresher, more flavorful, and often more affordable due to higher availability. For example, strawberries are in-season during late spring and early summer, making them a popular choice for consumers.
In addition to agriculture, "in-season" can also apply to sports, indicating the time when a specific sport is actively played. For instance, the NFL season runs from September to February, during which teams compete for the championship. This period is marked by regular games, fan engagement, and heightened media coverage.
