Post by: farfallina on July 14, 2010, 06:55:58 pm: Well, judydawn I am not an expert at all but due to my search zucchini is a vegetable for summer-fall season so this explains why we have big ones around here at the moment and instead you don't :-))

When I was very small we used to eat stuff according to season
Unfortunately that is not the case anymore.
I don't even know well the right season for the certain fruits and vegetables

Yesterday I saw a documentary named Food Inc and I am still shocked by everything I heard!

I went through a phase of buying anything I fancied but came to my senses that it was a waste of money that we could do other things with.

I really want to see that, but not sure whether we can in Australia. Anyone know?
