Apparently, 2012 has been such a terrible year for growing vegetables that UK supermarkets are relaxing their rules on how ugly their fresh produce (sorry, I typed 'poduce' and then realized that applied only to peas) can be.
At the same time, news comes forth of a man from Newark, Peter Glazebrook, who has had a bumper year growing ENORMOUS vegetables.
Now, this may seem to be stating the obvious, but if Mr Glazebrook can grow whoppers in a dismal summer, whilst everyone else's are wonky, can't we ask him to share a few of his secrets? Or even just a few of his spuds? Just think how much bubble and squeak you could make with a 37 kg cabbage!
Come on, David Heath MP, get it sorted!
