#Microblog Monday 309: Hedge Veg

We’re going to do a channel island trip in the future (my plan is to ultimately hit every weather station named in the Shipping Forecast, but that’s a post for another day), so I read the tourism posts from Guernsey and Sark.

Guernsey wrote recently about the tradition of hedge veg stalls, which are small, unmanned boxes that people set up near the road where they can sell extra vegetables from their garden or crafts or books. It’s done on an honour system; you drop the coins in a box and take what you need.

We have them around our town, too, though we don’t call them hedge veg. And they almost always sell either eggs or vegetables. Every once in a while, you’ll see one selling plants, and, of course, there are Little Free Libraries, but this sounds like a fun way to get creative and make a small amount of money at the same time.

If I lived on Guernsey, I would fill my hedge veg stall with cookies and copies of a serial story.

How about you?
