A common complaint among urban taxpayers regarding farmers is that they moan whatever happens; last year's late frosts decimated soft fruit production, so they moaned, this year's profusion of crops has depressed the market, so they moan, cap-in-hand to the Ministry of Agriculture, looking for 'emergency intervention'.
Below: Cabbage field between Zgorzała and Nowy Podolszyn. These fields are fast filling with development (see post above).
Below: Rose hips on ul. Kórnicka. The medicinal value of this plant is amazing! All that vitamin C plus antioxidants - I can see why the NHS was so keen to have British children drinking rose hip syrop in the 1960s!
Below: Pumpkins near Nowy Podolszyn. There seem to be more and more of these growing around here; other than a spicy pumpkin soup with coconut milk, I can't think of any appetising uses for these giant vegetables, nor do I see them in our shops. I guess they go to the food processing industry as filler for ready meals.
The weather today, as you can see, was beautiful, with a +14C maximum temperature.
This time last year:
Autumnal moods, happiness at 50
