I try to be self supporting in veg, but always fail. We run out mid

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?


Nettles are one of the first veg to become available in the year.
There's a huge number of things you can make with them, you wont want
them every day. There are dried peas & elders, dried fruits, bottled
cabbage, carrot, cucumber, pepper, and a great range of frozen eats.
