Buying fruit and veg in season : For iPhone or Ipod Touch users

Recommended Posts

Thought this might be of interest to the forum, my friend has made this great iPhone application to show you when Fruit and Veg is in season (rather than imported) - also helps to find farmers markets.


The app is currently featured in the app store, but thought it would be relevant to the foody types around here :)

Good idea...I believe we import far too many fruits/vegetables unnecessarily. The cost to the environment is high. E.g. farmers in Egypt buy seed potatoes from Scotland, which are then grown on in the Egyptian desert using copious amounts of precious water drilled from under the Egyptian desert and fertilizers imported from Ireland. The final product is packed and then shipped to the UK. Ridiculous when we have the perfect climate for growing (and storing) potatoes here.

    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
