How would you describe the season you're in?

Not just in the sense of "Summer" or "Winter," but of the things that happen around you this time of year.

We don't get much green cold, so I find yours intriguing. Plums from the USA make sense as an export; I wonder how much curing in a paper bag they need to be halfway edible.

We are a very cold weather green, hot weather brown place. I get weirded out other places where things are really really green.

Plums from the USA might make sense as an export, but no way am I paying those prices -- I don't even buy cherries at $17/kg. I'm suspecting a fair bit of curing, because there was no smell anywhere near them. The bananas on the other side of the aisle, which were still too green, were stronger smelling.

We are a hot weather green, cold weather brown/white place.

Goodness, that sounds like a lot of money for cherries and plums that might as well be paperweights.

Yeah, I tend not to buy the USA cherries either, because they tend to more watery. And because the Canadian-born member of the household would have conniptions.
