Hullo - lotties are usually 10 rods, for the oldest ones, which is
10mx25m - 250sqm. What are you cooking, new plots? ;o)
Will soon need a mortgage to buy veg! And supermarket stuff is cr*p.
Not all of it.
Morrisons is, with Asda not much better.
Yebbut you're talking about the lower end of supplies.
Brocolli and parsnips bought last night were unuseable this morning. 8
mile drive to a Somerfields got me some really fresh stuff, but at twice
the price.
So is Somerfields. And Tesco. Sainsbury is good for keeping the riff-raff
out of Waitrose ... :-)
Don't you have a farmers' market? IO wouldn't hve thought parsnips and
brocolli were seasonal for UK.
Go for the allotment. If it's too big just rent the other half to someone
else - with a profit.
