produce for sale
Some vegetables, like this Swiss chard, grown in the new kitchen garden at Mottisfont, are used in the restaurant on the estate but others are offered to the public on a sort of pay-what -you-think-it's-worth basis.
I took a photo of the pink-veined leaves but bought some leeks, which came with their roots and a bit of soil. They were very good in a leek and potato bake for the evening meal.
It used to be quite a tradition, when I was young, for the family to go out on an excursion in the car and, as a bonus, to find fruit and veg for sale at folk's garden gates.
Simple pleasures...............
