My garden produces fairly good food, my wife and I have survived on it for years now, but it isn't always supermarket pretty! I did get some really beautiful potatoes last year, and canned a good portion of them. My green and yellow beans are always good enough to can, and for beets, it doesn't matter, I peel them anyway. Tomatoes are another story. I plant Roma tomatoes because they make good canners and are fairly resistant to most bugs. I suppose picking and choosing varieties helps produce good organic food too!
