It IS amazing. Fresh veg. are far tastier than shop bought ones. I am glad
that folk are comming around to this. We,(family)at home can never go back
to shop bought stuff. Only during winter.

It depends a lot on What you buy more than where you buy it.
I have been buying English tomatoes the last couple of months from
Tesco, very good flavour but cost more than imported, but well worth
it, same for Asparagus, buy British against imported from somewhere
like Peru.
Then in season why but runner beans from Zambia or Zimbabwe when there
are British for sale.
the message is READ THE LABEL.

One of the things I find irritating when shopping online is that Tesco
rarely put the country of origin on produce. They do tend to say
"British" if it is, though. British asparagus beats all others hands
down, imo. The last we had was from the Wye valley, David and I can
recommend it highly. ;-) Our own crowns, planted as two year olds
last year have disappeared entirely. I assume they just rotted away.
