Pumpkins, which local farmers call “punkins,” are difficult to grow profitably on a small farm. They must be farmed on different plots every two to three years, or they can become diseased. Seeds are planted after Mother’s Day in May, and harvest comes four or five months later. Buyers typically want pumpkins only during a six-week stretch, leading up to Halloween. That puts enormous pressure on growers to cash in during a small window.

Watermelon can ensure that your digestive system works better. This is because they contain Magnesium. Magnesium in the human body activates the production of enzymes that assist in the absorption of nutrients. This ensures better digestion and breakdown of foods. Watermelon seeds are also rich in Zinc. Zinc helps prevent disorders related to the gut. Zinc deficiency is associated with digestive diseases such as diarrhoea.

But if managed well, cottonseed meal and cotton residue can help cattle farmers put the full product of a cotton harvest to use profitably. Cottonseed hulls have about 17 percent less protein than soybean hulls, but soybeans hulls cost about 25 percent more.

Gently fry the onion, stirring now and then, for 10 minutes or until softened. Add a splash of water if it looks like catching at any point. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 180˚C/Gas Mark 4.

The annual sunflower, a member of a genus of about 50 species from the Americas, was domesticated in North America about 5,000 years ago. Native North American uses of sunflower ranged from food and medicine, through a fibre and dye plant to a source of musical instruments and bird snares.

Vespertine was the best restaurant I went to and tasted this year in 2018. I had a very thought-provoking experience during my time there, and it took me to a different place that made me think outside of the box. It was a place where many elements came together to create a very unique sensation. Vespertine was good and entertaining, and incredibly thoughtful in the way it did everything, which evoked a very different feeling for me that I still think about. Every interaction was very detailed during this dining experience, I’m really looking forward to going back again in the future.

“If it’s going on this menu, then I have to love eating it,” VanHeulen said. “This is joy, the kind of joy that should surround dining out. No matter what, I’m going the extra mile.”

It’s when Jenny From The Block refuses to walk three blocks that you kinda get to call "diva." We still love her, but there’s a limit, people.
