Vegetables out of season's disadvantages

During this first week of September the weather was still warm. Consequently, we haven't to forget to maintain good fluid balance in our body. Many fruit and vegetables that grow in late summer contain high percentage of water. They can contribute to our daily fluid intake, alongside drinking water. Obviously I'm talking about in-season fruit and vegetables that haven't been shipped from other continents.

Producing vegetables out of season presents several disadvantages, such as high up-front costs to build the structure and no natural pollination. Furthermore, production is limited to high-value crops and a significant knowledge level is required. Not to mention of special permitting and expensive cost of production. And last but not least landscape and visual impact.


Last week I was so glad to see young people enjoying donkeys. 


Donkey remains useful in many parts of the world today. In some Italian villages, located in mountainous areas,  those beautiful creatures are used for  sheperding and for waste collection due to narrow ancient alleys, where motorized vehicle are impractical.


Have a nice weekend
