What is missing in this picture??


When someone in the states asked me what fruit I was getting fresh, I told them that the oranges were almost gone, the strawberries were in, and a few early cantaloupes were in. When I got back, I could not buy enough of the fresh varieties that had ripened up over the weekend, so I could not include the nespoli (medlars) (local), the lemons (local), the sweet dark cherries (lo9cal), the apples (granted, probably controlled atmosphere from the north). But we did have strawberries (local) and little strawberries known as fragolini (strawberries are fragoli), which are a specialty of Menfi(but probably local), Peaches (specialty of Bivona but probably local), Apricots (local), Cantaloupe (Mazara), Bananas (up from Africa) and a few left over Ribera Oranges. Oh yes.

The garlic braid in the back ground helps keep away vampires, and so far it has worked.
