In this weeks delivery I have 2 little gem lettuces (must find a recipe to use up all these lettuces! lettuce soup?) cucumber, why does an organic company have to use plastic? tomatoes, carrots, new potatoes, bananas, pears, melon and 1/2 dozen organic eggs. Apart from the melon, it seems a bit boring and not a lot for my money so I am considering changing to a delivery once a fortnight and using our local farm shop inbetween, it will be interesting to see how much I can get there for my money (£12.85)
I wish I had more energy to shop around and get some bargains but with the pesky cfs, needs must etc., I did manage to get a bag of fresh brussels sprouts knocked down from £1.49 to 20p the other day at sainsburys just because the outer leaves were a bit tatty, just peeled those off and used half yesterday with the roast dinner and the rest are in the freezer.

It does seem odd that they've packed the cucumber in plastic. It'll be interesting to see whether the new supplier does the same thing once you switch.
Do you know what I miss most about buying veg at the market? The dirt! When they're dirty they look more like proper veg, I think. Does that make sense?
Yes it does make sense Sharon, that is why I like the organic deliveries though they are more muddy in the winter! lol! I shall try to get organised and take a photo of next weeks shopping at the farmshop. I am pretty sure that they don't wrap cucmbers in plastic.
