Imperfect vegetables are taking over our   country.

All my life I can only remember perfectly rounded green peppers, straight carrots and non lumpy this or that in the vegetable bins at the grocery store.

Not only that, the powers that be had certainly made it known to our Mother the Earth that only perfect would do. Of course, this is only clear now.

Those of us who grew up with vegetables growing in our home gardens knew it 't'warn't so'.


But eventually, we bought in to that idea only to discover lately imperfect vegetables have been plotting all along to push those 'hoity toity 'perfect vegetables out of the stores and off our dinner plates.


Who knew vegetables had a mind of their own? Anyone who has ever watched Mother Earth grow things knows that.


In the end, vegetables, fruits and the grasses and trees will take back the earth and keep it green and growing unless we mend our ways.
