There is a community for this specific bramd of stores? I’d also crosspost this on mildlyinfuriating or something.
Yeah in Canada you have a few major companies owning the large swaths of grocery store chains: Loblaws, Empire (Safeway and Sobeys in Canada), metro, Pattison (saveonfoods).
Loblaws has been particularly egregious with Galen Weston going on a PR tour to pretend they haven’t been screwing Canadians over decades, despite ever increasing profits. Loblaws is vertically integrated owning or having strict contracts with suppliers (financial products (PC financial), drug stores, clothing stores (Joe Fresh). They were found to have fixed bread prices for 10 years or more.
So this month there is an active boycot of Loblaws, their chains and brands, hence this community. Feel free to crosspost to other communities, though!
This is paranoia. No one cares if you grow your own onions or not.
Other possibilities: poor training, spoiling product
Is there an advantage to planting the roots of an already grown plant instead of buying a packet of seeds for 50¢? I’m guessing it would grow a bit faster buy I’m not a growologist.
I just stick the roots in a cup with a little water on the window sill. No planters/dirt/etc.
Nah. Someone, at some point, decided it would look nicer to the consumer like that. FFS, people buy pre-chopped vegetables now days.
Also, I’m pretty sure those would root and grow in a glass of water anyway. Been growing my own for years, I’ll give it a try.
Side question : do you trim your green onions before they flower?
I mean, the leaf is a bit thicker, but it tastes the same.
