Frozen vegetables have more vitamins and are generally better for you than fresh vegetables which of course are not fresh

I think what uk1 is saying is that "fresh" veggies may have been picked days, weeks or months ago. I was at Chicago's best farmer's market (only local farmers, no one allowed to sell stuff they bought from wholesalers) on Saturday and one farmer was selling apples. It's May...those apples were picked last fall because there are no local apples ready to be picked in the spring in the Chicago area. My CSA box has included carrots almost every week for the last couple months. The farmer is very transparent in letting us know these carrots have been in cold storage for a while.
