Default Local greenhouse produce through the roof.

Cukes, three bucks a pop.
Man it just keeps climbing. After seeing what I pay in carbon tax on the utilities I use cannot imagine the greenhouse bill for gas and electric.

Go to the actual greenhouse and buy the "duds". A bag of 5 duds is $3. They are bent but they taste the same.

That was a few years ago. I used to regularly go to the green houses, not really worth it any more. The stuff I get from them now goes bad so fast not worth buying in bulk and the prices have gone way up. Not that I blame them, the carbon tax is killing everyone.

You mean the odd $212 cheque isn't covering it? Sarcasm of course.
Carbon tax is costing me a ton of money every year and only gets worse once again in another month.
Anxiously awaiting the day that little twit is no longer using up oxygen. Fingers crossed that day is soon

Jamko and Westland greenhouses prices are $2 for a bag of three to four cubes, mini’s are also $2 a bag. These two greenhouses pick on Tuesday and Thursdays for their sales to the public. Cucumber man worst produce in RC and is getting the monopoly on the vegetables in the area.

Prices are nuts and just gouging.
I started a hydroponic raft system downstairs for lettuce. Amazing how fast it grows and just keep trimming for fresh greens.
