2023 - Wishful Thinking Advent Calendar

Behind the Vintage door are Various Vegetables that I have never eaten before. I have this crazy idea that all fruit and veg plants and seeds should come with a sample of the actual fruit or veg that they will produce so that I could decide whether I really want to grow them or not. Try before you Buy.

You might not remember them but there used to be greengrocers -  you might still find a stall at a local market.

I've never seen anyone selling skirret, rampion, asparagus peas, medlars, quince, mulberries and so on.  Plenty of unusual things at the Asian supermarkets but there its hard to find out their English names!

But Mark, how many local greengrocers have you seen that stock the likes of achocha, ugli fruit, durian, mangosteen or even that thing veggie wanted a plant of.
