Home Grown Vegetable - Acceptance & Appreciation for the Imperfection

What is it about growing your own vegetables and fruits, then, no matter how distorted they turned out to be, we end up still eating them gratefully by cutting around the blemish, etc. ... Yet, when we go to the grocery store, I will try to look for the perfect ears of corn, unbruised peaches, etc.  My garden veges and fruits this year grew enough to keep me with fresh vegetables and fruits.  And I find myself more forgiving of their imperfection then for the ones we buy from the store. I cut around the bug eaten portion and enjoy the other halves with full appreciation.
