Yeah, if you start growing your own food it all downhill from there 😂. You grow ingredients so you learn to cook really well too. And then suddenly going to the restaurant isn't a treat anymore, because the food doesn't taste as good as before. You can grow the varieties YOU like best. I also don't like to eat boring food so I cook internationally and grow veggies you can't buy in the shop in my country (like tomatillos)
100% agreed 😂 Right now we're harvesting a whole punnet of tomatoes per day! Our cucumbers are amazing too. We tend to make meals and freeze things down for winter 😊
LOL, so true! Too late for me though..Fortunately, I have a freezer full to get hubby and I through the long, cold, dark winter. 🙂 Snobbery happens here with potatoes and celery. The mouth feel and flavor of a homegrown potato is beyond compare and the flavor burst from homegrown celery vs store bought is amazing. Oh heck, I'm just an all around home grown veggie/herb snob and thus the reason I'll always have a garden until I am physically unable.
Couldn't agree more with this Huw. Growing your own vegetables is going to change your approach to food, forever! I'm so glad I started, about 7 years ago !
Just finishing up my 6th straight year growing 6 or more F1 sungolds. It may sound silly but they have completely replaced sweets in my summer and autumn diet (except the occasional chocolate). They are mind-blowingly sweet and it catches me off guard every year
The taste of homegrown corn on the cob is incomparable with shop bought ones. These were probably picked days ago. Corn should be picked and eaten straight away preferably other lashings of butter. Unbelievable flavour.

Same with home grown potatoes
and raspberries.
I’ve not had a good tomato in like four yrs 😭
Love your approach and "advice"!!! 😊

Huw I couldn't agree more. I will never buy a tomato from a supermarket again.

And runner beans 🤷♀️
Fresh off the plant, little cherry tomatoes are almost like little grapes.

Another tomato snob here! 👋✌️
Plus I have kept my own seeds from my ‘Gardener’s Delight’ tomatoes for 30 something years 😅

Very true! Although I am lucky to live in a village which has a family greengrocer,their produce is great.
I make myself so sick in homegrown tomato sandwiches. I can last the other 8/9 months without a single one.

Truth❤
I didn't eat tomatoes before I grew my own because shop-bought tomatoes are meh!
It's not disappointment, it's enlightened wholeness.
