With the obvious exception of coconuts, it is remarkably rare for us to get any fresh fruit or vegetables here in Shalampax. Because everything other than coconuts, which are grown locally, has to be sent here by ship and that ship often has to wait offshore for months until the weather clears long enough to unload its cargo, we have to make do with frozen, dried and canned fruits and vegetables.
Fortunately, the most recent supply ship to visit us had the good sense to stow all of its cargo in the hold and put soil on its deck. It then grew a crop of vegetables on it’s way to Shalampax.
