True enough, which is why I have a garden & fruit trees. But still, there are no locally-grown fruits & vegetables in these parts from at least November to March. (Well, OK, I have a bit of lettuce &c in pots in the sunroom, but that's hardly enough to live on.) So it's a luxury to have some fresh stuff in the winter months, rather than live off dried & canned.
