My parents had a greengrocers for over 30 years from around 1967 until 2000 when they retired. I worked there in the 80s and 90s
Nicosia, Cyprus
Back in the day it was difficult to source decent British potatoes around April/May time I think it was so my parents would sell Cyprus potatoes. Good to eat and distinct in appearance because the soil they were grown in was a very light brown. There is a nice big pile here…
Chillies are very popular in India
Come and see this chap if you like large radishes #Malta
Singapore
‘Vegetable Seller in busy Chinatown( in the mornings only) with a variety of locally grown and imported vegetables.’
Maybe not everything is homegrown, it’s very likely the globe artichokes are imported
Helsinki, Finland
Summertime and I would think that all the produce here in this splendid display would be homegrown. Quite a short growing season though and in the winter time Finland must have to import quite a lot of fruit & veg I would imagine
Keep up the good work Ed, people like yourself deserve more praise for your contribution to science and the future of humanity
One of my favourites, glad you like it 👍
Oops, sorry, I think that’s a durian fruit top left, not a jackfruit
A fruit stall in Sri Lanka
After much head scratching I think we have here avocados, green oranges and the reddish fruit is whats known locally as ‘Jambu’. Top left is a jackfruit and of course bananas in the top of the photo. All grow well in #SriLanka
I think this is in Puerto Rico
A beautiful display of fruit & veg on the island of Corfu. But the priest isn’t happy, he wants some pears
