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.
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 🌻☀🚴♂️
...these days, everything can be in season.

ReplyDeleteIn Russia in August and September, fruits and vegetables are cheaper than in winter. Donkeys are wonderful animals. But I only have cats at home.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to own a big garden, I would have donkeys.
DeleteIt's always much better to have vegetables and fruits in season, they do taste better.
ReplyDeleteWe don't seem to have that many donkeys here in Australia as some countries do. I think they are lovely animals.
