Plastic packaging and Caution with Spinach & E. Coli

[Guest guest]

Heh! grow you own veg and pick it fresh when you need it.

Never have to worry about E. Coli (or money ?)

Your Bank manager will love you and so will you, lol

 

 

Best Wishes,

I'm thinking of doing this, only eat veggies I grow

and in the long run, i'm sure its healthier than

eating shipped in veggies all year round.

So sad we have to even fear vegetables - with the

soil, water system down to the packaging.
