"It may seem that broccoli is an all-season vegetable, but at this time of year, the winter crops have finished but the spring crops are still coming on," says a vegetable expert. "So, no surprise that broccoli is small and expensive. It's a shame that we have lost touch with the seasonal nature of our fruits and vegetables.

Elderly owner misses car
