it's May!

Back home it's cherries time. Here it is still cold and ugly and i listen to the wrong music to make me forget the sweet taste of home. I didn't have cherries in 2 years now. When i talk to my mom we always avoid the food subject. I just miss it too much. In this country where all is plastic, even food tastes like...nothing.
I tried to reproduce most of the things i used to eat at home and it all tastes and smells bad. What do they use to grow vegetables here? I can't believe that everything is so unusual.
And i am trying. You can't say i am not because i have no choice. I have to eat what the supermarkets offer. I saw organic things and i saw garden vegetables but it is all too expensive. I need to stay within the budget (which is low).
I am asking all kind of suggestions from my mom but in fact nothing works here since i can't find what i need. Having a garden would be the ideal thing. With a piece of land i could rent i would have a higher chance of eating vegetables which taste like vegetables.
I would plant a cherry tree and a peach tree. I don't know if this place would help those grow or if they have any chance of giving good fruits, but at least i would try.
I can't believe it! It's May and i haven't got one cherry! I don't even dare to ask my mom if she had any because i bet she had like kilos already. And back home they are cheap! So cheap! Here things like cherries or strawberries are rare and pricey.
I don't even dare to look around because i would just start crying! It makes me miss home so much that my chest cannot take that much amount of pain.
It's cherries time and i'm only dreaming!
