Watching countryside on TV last night I was struck by the waste of

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.


They can bag up the bad ones, in the same way that they currently bag up
and discount the old ones. But it'd have to be a big discount.
