Default Order to eat things

To be honest, the one thing I hate most about home grown veg is the amount
of washing off soil that one has to do.

That was my pet hate about home grown leeks - they usually had to be
picked in the rain, so by the time I'd donned wellies and waterproofs,
paddled down to the veggie patch and dragged them out of the ground
covered in ud, I had freezing cold hands. Then there was all the
cleaning off to do, with cold water, by which time my hands were blue.
And they still ended up with far more mud and grot down the stems than
shop bought. In fact, I finally decided that it was easier to buy them
from the supermarket.
Now, I've got very little space for veggies, and a remaining son at home
who will only eat peas and sweetcorn (the frozen variety - where did I
go wrong as a parent?!?) so I restrict myself to my favourite, runner
beans, and a couple of courgette plants.
