except that more and more , one can buy grapes in the spring,  melons
and
raspberries in winter , etc...and less and less people know that there
is
season to grow foods.
People soon are going to ask me at the market why i am not carrying
cherries
in the fall.
lot of people are asking me now if i am doing the market when they
know that
i am selling fruits only (sorry it is not the season yet) and we are
living
in a very rural setting so i wonder where the peoples in the cities
are at ,
in relationship with their environment .?
