The Month of July
Meaning: July was originally named Quintilis (Latin for "fifth month" because the ancient Roman calendar started in March), the month was renamed to July in 44 B.C. by the Roman Senate in honor of Julius Caesar (100-44 BC), who was born during this month.
Flower of the month: The water lily.

Food in Season
The raspberry (Rubus idaeus) belongs to the same botanical family as the rose and the blackberry. Botanically speaking it is not a true berry (a fruit with many seeds scattered throughout the pulp) but an etaerio (or aggregate fruit) made up of drupelets (individual sections of fruit each with its own seed). Raspberries are high in fibre, iron, potassium and vitamins A and C and are super high in fibre, low in calories and supply you with a good dose of folic acid. They are thought to have been eaten since prehistoric times, but only began to be cultivated in England and France in about the 1600s
