Me also. So for me the point of growing your own veg is to have something special. Sometimes its special just because you grew it yourself - peas you have picked and eat immediately are unlike what you can buy. Sometimes its special because you can grow rare an dunusual variets and veg you don't see in the shops. But growing standard commercial varieties when it will just be a lot of work to get the same, or worse, than the shops is pointless.
