Default OT Supermarket vegetables

as good as that that was plough back in I would be very happy indeed.


Much as I like the self-service aspect of supermarket vegetables, I can
see that if they put good and less-good in a box the less-good will get
left behind (and rapidly deteriorate). Not easy to have two boxes at
different prices when the check-out staff have to distinguish them.

My own PSB will be pathetic this year - didn't have space to plant them
out early enough.
