Do you use home grown veggies in cooking? Do you think they taste better than shop bought?

As much as possible. The taste alone motivates us to grow more & more. I'm into sprouting grains, legumes & seeds in a big way now too. Very easy to do in the city. You get up to ten-and-a-half times the food volume this way too, with just a little organization & regular attention (like, ten minutes a day!).

We have no idea what we're getting in the supermarkets... even the certified organic fresh veg gets gassed routinely before hitting the shelves. Just ask the growers for a long list of supermarket crimes against humanity all for the sake of high profits. Most of a supermarket's profit comes from the fruit & veg section of the supermarket.
