What's in your vegetable boxes at the moment?

Hi,

I'm a bit disappointed with my fruit and vegetable box at the moment. It always seems to be the same, and not exactly amazing stuff.
This week there was potatoes and carrots and onions (like every week), a bit of broccoli, three tomatoes, a bag of watercress.
Then some apples, one pear, one orange, one grapefruit, four bananas. All this for £10.75.
A few weeks ago the company put in a note to say that it was the sp-called "hungry gap" at the moment - running out of winter vegetables while the summer stuff hasn't come in yet. But shouldn't we be past this now? What's in season at the moment? Event the potatoes are horrible and have lots of black bits in them - somehow I was expecting to get new potatoes now...

I am with GLF - our market stall is wonderful and so reasonable, and as I said earlier if you get them at the right time it gets cheaper because they just want rid for the next day's stock.

Ours often uses punnets and loads them up with varieties to shift the last, the other day I got enough root veggies for at least 2 casseroles for £1.50.
