Where you are, it's sugar beets, here, it's sugar cane. There's even a field by the university, the agriculture department experiments with growing and harvesting methods.
Between October and April, the sugar beet factory operates at full capacity, working three shifts round the clock. And as for the cold: lucky are those who can heat their homes. Una abraçada, Carme.
Sean, your “Skyday” posts are always a pleasure. Grey days have their own quiet beauty, and your photos capture that perfectly. And those mountains of sugar beets… a real sign of the season.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your Friday atmosphere with us.

ReplyDeleteInteresting, Mimi. I'm not sure, but I think the beet is less sensitive than sugar cane.
Deleteit's sugar beet in Lincolnshire too.
ReplyDelete;-) And 'Zuckerrübe' in Lower Saxony.
Delete"We" do even export to England, so that "you" can sweeten your tea. ;-)
Mare de Déu santíssima!, aquí hi ha per donar de menjar a un regiment. ;-)
ReplyDeletePetonets, Sean.
Ha ha, Paula. "We" are "sugar beet country", not to feed regiments, though.
DeletePetonets.
Per aquí també ha glaçat, ja, algunes nits.
ReplyDeleteQuines collites de remolatxa sucrera més immenses!
Una abraçada, Sean.

ReplyDeleteMy Dad's special rose is being complicated and flowering in November!!!
Nature is amazing, CherryPie. We had a few roses blooming in November, too.
DeleteHi Sean - yes the grey wet days are here ... Yesterday was lovely! Today ... misty and lots of wind ... and men at work. Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHilary, kind soul you are there is not the word "noisy" (men at work) to be found in your comment. ;-)
