I try to be self supporting in veg, but always fail. We run out mid
Winter then nothing until early Summer except frozen. Any suggestions
as to which veg can be grown to fill the late Winter and early Spring
months please? I have lost all my Spring cabbages in their early
stages by greedy mice. Any regimes far all year round supplies?


Look around the seed catalogues. We grow spring cauliflowers, probably
the best to grow, try Walcheren Winter Armardo April. There are others
that mature at different times so look around. Leeks can still be dug in
late winter as can parsnips and carrots.

Many thanks for all the food for thought as well as my stomach!
