… not because you have a glut, but because the taste of your home grown ones means you no longer enjoy the supermarket ones?

For me, it’s apples and cucumbers.

I wish I had a glut

My tomatoes have mysteriously disappeared - I suspect squirrels

Cucumbers! I bloody love home grown cucumbers.

And sweetcorn cobs. For cost and taste reasons, they are better home grown.

Yes! They have a taste! Not just sticks of water.

Tasted my first homegrown cucumber this year, couldn't quite believe it. I'm a convert.
For me it's runner beans. And I would never pay for blackberries, but I think it's more the principle of it than the taste! (Athough, that too)
@coxesorangepippin I used to watch the squirrels raiding next door's greenhouse, emerging with a tomato in their mouth as big as their heads. They would sit on the fence post , eat a few mouthfuls and leave. Cheeky sods.

Yes, I wouldn’t pay for blackberries on principle. Or rhubarb.

wish you hadn’t raised the spectre of squirrel raids on the greenhouse

Tomatoes-the taste and variety is far superior to those in supermarkets and a fraction of the price. The squirrels have left mine alone, preferring to de-head my sunflowers instead!
