There are artificial veggies?

albeit not in April... although we did have some fried taters tonight that were made with home-grown taters from the root cellar.

... Real veggies are home grown and freshly harvested or at least freshly harvested if not home grown.
Veggies which have been harvested well before optimum and stored in cold rooms for weeks on end, such as what you find in most supermarkets, are a very poor equivalent to real veggies picked just hours before consumption.
YMMV.

You CANNOT beat the flavor and crispness of freshly picked veggies straight out of the garden! I will *never* forget the corn I got once when driving back from MD's eastern shore. I was cruising back towards DC when I spied a a Mom & Pop operation up ahead. Pulled in and got out of the car. Just as I did that, a beat up pickup truck comes trundling out of the corn fields behind the stand.
In the bed of the truck was several bushels of freshly picked, special, hybridized, sweet white corn. The farmer told me that it was a new breed of corn being tested by the US Agriculture Dept. and he was one of the lucky recipients of the seed stock. IIRC, it was called Sugar Baby.
Anyway, I bought several dozen ears and hopped back in the car. Upon arriving at my home, I immediately put a big old pot of water on to boil. Once it was boiling, I threw 5 or 6 ears in. 5 minutes later I was absolutely *swooning* over the quality, taste, and sweetness of this corn. It was, without a doubt, the finest corn I've ever had (before or since) - and I've had WAY more then my fair share of corn on the cob.
Being the foolish glutton that I am, I proceeded to eat 11 ears (that is *not* a typo!) of that corn in the next half hour. Man oh man was that corn good!!
I admit however that the next day I got to pay for that corn again, and again, and again - I'm pretty sure I visited the bathroom once for each ear I had eaten [g]. No matter, I threw on another pot of water and had 5 or 6 more ears that afternoon. Two of the best daze in my life!!
