Default OT Supermarket vegetables

Watching countryside on TV last night I was struck by the waste of
vegetables grown for supermarkets. If my Purple Sprouting broccoli was
as good as that that was plough back in I would be very happy indeed. As
it is I will get none this year, the netting blew off sometime during
the cold spell and the pigeons have stripped the plants down to their
stalks. Also the birds have wrecked my pots of primulas, all the green
has been pecked off and left on the floor. Not showing much appreciation
for my feeding them well during the cold and snow!
