Fruit & Veges

[nzmikey]

So this has been pissin me for awhile now the cost of fruit & veges has gone stupid in the past few months , E.g : $14 per kg for tomato's , $5ea for a cucumber , $4ea for capisiums .

So what I dont understand is why New World wants to rub it in our faces with an advert of them using veges for fecking instruments ............
What a waste of food

Damn straight! Those feckers and their peeling, screwing, blowing ways! It's a vege buying sham!

Have a look outside your window, now see what brilliant sunshine we're having. Perfect growing weather this time of year! Happens every year when we hit winter, people moan and groan about the price of vege or fruit. At least they're not blatent rip off prices like milk, cheese and butter.

I got 5 large ex-flower pots with cabbage, cauli, brussel sprouts, broccoli and silverbeat in. A bed that's about 8" deep with lettuces, beetroot and other bits and pieces. The bed is a galv steel trough I picked up from somewhere (can't remember). We in an industrial area with no garden but for the trough and other stuff and do pretty damn good out of it. Only thing we buy is fruit.

Nice work, and I agree wholeheartedly. However, even with no garden, there are now "patio planters that accomodate for the garden space challenged. So even if you're renting and can't convince the landlord you need a vegie patch, you can still grow a few things to help you through.

Burn them!

What's the point of burning vegies silly?

Oh, I see... you can't cook, can ya?

Nice way to get around Godwin's law!

Get in the kitchen and burn me some eggs missy! And the only thing you should be wearing is an apron!

(wonder when internet law 34 will rear it's head! Though it should be law 69!)

What makes you think I'm wearing anything else right now?
