I grow my own too, and know that sometimes the “odd” ones taste the best. The beef tomatoes I’ve grown with holes at the bottom where they haven’t quite formed properly are some of the best tomatoes I have ever tasted. Alex, Durham, UK
I remember as a teenager, being surprised at the home-grown cucumbers that my mother grew, which were far from the straight, smooth supermarket varieties, being lumpier and with bristles. Apart from needing to be peeled, they always tasted far better than the boring shop-bought ones. The same goes for home-grown tomatoes. Kate, UK
Why all this attack on supermarkets? Everyone has long known that presentation and appearance in food is essential to it’s enjoyment. Let’s face it you went to a restaurant and they slopped the food on your plate-you’d complain,no matter how delicious it was.

These are just some of the provocative — some would say anti-American — items for sale at Left Bank Books Collective, in the liberal and frequently outspoken US West Coast city of Seattle. While a lot has been said and written about anti-Americanism around the world following the US invasion of Iraq, little has been said about a vein of the same sentiment that exists in the US. If home-grown “anti-Americanism” has a region it calls home, it might well be the left-leaning West Coast, where vehement opposition to Bush and his policies is overt. If it has a capital, it could be Seattle, site of the explosive anti-World Trade Organization demonstrations in 1999 and a politics so left-leaning that just two voting precincts went for Bush last year. Left Bank Books Collective has dedicated to spread radical ideas from its spot in one of the prime tourist attractions, Pike Place Market, since 1973. Collin Coyne, 33, has been a member of the bookstore collective for a year. He quit his job writing marketing copy when his company would not give him time off to attend an activist training camp.

It’s not hard to see why when the potential benefits are so compelling. Big money, big returns? "Security is not the number one reason why we adopted [identity management], but it’s a really nice side effect," says Paul Beaudry, director of technical services for James Richardson International (JRI).

“He also applied and then he has been rediscovered through the show,” he counters. All said and done, the greatest plus of TGILC is it has broken the myth that only the foreign formats work on Indian television. “Yes, a home grown concept became the driver show of the channel and entered among the top 25 shows on all the channels. This prompted us for Nach Baliye, where 10 celebrity couples will try to out step each other in a dance competition. ” Starting this week, Puneet believes the show will bridge the striking distance with their rivals.

“You can have a point of view, and there are far fewer compromises being made. ”
More subsidy
One way forward, suggested actor Paul McGann, is to follow France’s lead and increase subsidies for indigenous films. In France, a percentage of every cinema ticket sold is channelled back into home-grown movie-making through its central film agency, the Centre National de la Cinematographie (CNC).

Like a cabbage rose or ruffled peony, a poppy unfurled holds observers in its thrall. The silken petals, pollen-dusted corona and gray-green lace-cut leaves of Papaver somniferum combine for irresistible opulence, making them the queen of any garden they grace – for a fleeting moment in spring.

In the Dallas area, that seed should be flung in early autumn, not early spring, and left undisturbed.
