Replacing roses with out-of-season fruit dipped in chocolate was 100% an idea cooked up in a boardroom to capture a new market at a time of year when sales are typically down.
On this rainy day, these strawberry workers are out trudging through rows of muddy water to bring this sweet fruit to our tables.

En este día lluvioso, estos trabajadores de la fresa caminan con dificultad a través de hileras de agua fangosa para traer esta dulce fruta a nuestras mesas.

Folks in more temperate parts of the country can inoculate mushroom logs throughout the year (lucky you!).

Who out there is already getting started?
