Fruits and the Summer


In summer, the prices of many kinds of fruits come down in Herat, Afghanistan. That is because it is the harvest time and many of the farmers in country side bring their products to town to sell. Farmers and gardeners usually grow different kinds of fruits and vegetables such grapes (all varieties), pomegranates, apricots, berries, oranges, plums, figs, olives, walnuts, almonds and also vegetables like onions, potatoes, carrots, beans and peas.

  2. What beautiful fruits, Aref. But, tell me, is too early or is too late? Why the lights are turned on?

  3. Delicious photo! It looks like it's easy to find good fruits and vegetables right now. So, if you have good recipes and a good cook...

  4. Hi Glduro,
    It is in the evening and the lights are on. It gets dark something around 8:00 p.m here.

    I like market photos, thanks!
    And, I noticed the newspapers covering the boxes-very clever!

  8. Wow, your fruits sound so exotic to me because none of them are readily available to us in the Philippines.

    Nice to see that you are now part of the CDPB community. Welcome!

  9. Oh my fruit heaven!

    We have plenty of exotic fruit and vegetables available in the UK but as much of it is imported, it doesn’t always taste good, despite the price. I bet that those fruit and veg taste delicious as they’ll be so fresh.
