Vegetable Box Scheme

I have a small box of organic vegetables delivered once a fortnight. It's an expensive way to buy veg, but it's a principle thing – I'd buy more if I could afford it, not only for the organic principle, but to ensure the grower gets a fair price for his produce. The most noticeable difference in taste is carrots ... shop bought, mass produce carrots are so tasteless by comparison. (And carrots are really difficult to grow in our garden as it's so dry.)

We always have potatoes – more than enough for one meal, never quite enough for two – and carrots and onions. This week we also had: beans, lettuce, turnips, celery and baby plum tomatoes which were delicious!
