Welcome to BBC Xtra English . Today Doug and Rasha talk about growing vegetables.
In the UK, for the first time since the Second World War, sales of vegetable seeds have overtaken sales of flower seeds.
During the war, people in Britain were encouraged to grow their own vegetables. Parks and gardens were ploughed up to make this possible.
Now, people are growing their own vegetables again, not in parks but on allotments which they rent from local councils. Allotments are very cheap and popular. In some areas there are so many people waiting for allotments that even the allotment waiting lists have waiting lists!
Meanwhile, British supermarkets are bulging with fruit and vegetables flown in from all round the world at all seasons of the year. So why are the British growing their own vegetables again?
The Guardian newspaper suggests it's not to save money. It's partly because of celebrity chefs on television. They are promoting traditional foods and small producers as opposed to supermarkets. They also recommend buying food in season and not having summer fruit in winter for example.
The newspaper also says that another reason is that British people are going on holiday to less industrialised places , where they see people growing their own fruit and vegetables like lemons and olives. They are envious of this and want to do the same.
Wherever you live, do you grow your own fruit or vegetables? Write to us in English!
