Spring / Fall prices
We are getting close to spring so the world below the equator is getting close to fall harvest time.
I guess that's why when I went to Pathmark (supermarket) tonight, they had peaches, plums, nectarines and two or three types of grapes for 99 cents/lb. Hell, at those prices, I could make my own booze.

I love this time of year because organic navel oranges are under $1/lb, and the oranges themselves often weigh over a pound each.
juicy.. mm. |

I bought some of these things called Honeybells--a hybrid orange. Ungodly expensive and shipped from Florida. They weren't so much juicy as they were water-y. No taste. I was sooooo disappointed. I had citrus regret for weeks.

oh gawd xoB..... that was bad (I'm sayin that cause I didn't think of it myself).
Seasonal stuff up here? Ha! We have fiddlehead ferns in the spring, salmonberries, blueberries, wild strawberries & huckleberries in the summer, and a bunch of dead leaves in the fall. Everything else is shipped in from who knows where. |

We're wondering how to keep pests out of the berries with methyl bromide being phased out.

Skunks, when I lived in Annapolis MD, I encountered a supermarket binful of oranges -- and guess how they spelled "navel." Yep. I thought that was a bit much even for Annapolis, and went to the bother of eyeballing several oranges looking for a little blue-inked anchor stamp. Maybe I should have looked in Bancroft Hall instead.

Salmonberry is in the raspberry/blackberry family....very tasty. They are salmon colored (sort of) and not fishy.
