Fall? Heavens, that's when harvest is! You'd get  lot more fresh foods in
the Fall. Vegetables, fruits, wheats and grains all come due in September
and October (think: Harvest Festival, and you get the idea); plus that'd
be the best time to start slaughtering the livestock, so you wouldn't have to
feed them all over the winter. . .
