It hasn't been easy to find American citizens who are willing to pick fruit in 110 degree weather.

It is actually costlier to hire an immigrant. And yet the farm worker is almost invariably an immigrant. You can't pay an American to pick blueberries.
Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.
Sometimes you've just got to grab an apple - or grapes, or strawberries. Something that's healthy but maybe a little bit more adventurous, if you can see fruit as adventurous.

No fruit. No veggie.
