Quotations for inspiration
"I've noticed that even half an hour after I've picked them, crops like sweetcorn, purple sprouting broccoli, radishes and french beans lose much of their sweetness (the vitamins start to break down as well). After they've been sitting in a shop for a few days, you might as well eat this newspaper." George Monbiot, Guardian/Observer Guide April 2008, 'Growing your Own'.
