Veggie suggestions needed
 

Hi All,

Have some spare space in the veggie garden in southern Victoria, and
with winter approaching (severe frosts here), wouldn't mind some
suggestions for winter crops.

One challenge is that one consumer is diabetic (ie cut down on spuds)
and the other is on a medication that requires minimisation of vitamin
K (leafy green veggies, but spuds are fine).

Any suggestions apart from silverbeet and broad beans????

The one who needs to cut down on Vitamin K wants to be wary of Broccoli
also. Atleast that's what I was told.

Put some radish seeds in while you think about it?

I am diabetic and still eat potatoes. Just not as many or as often as
before. Diabetics can have 150 carbohydrates a day and can eat potatoes and
cut back on something else.

Good luck. Dwayne

The diabetic can eat the Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, cabbage, cauliflower,
broccoli, spinach and silverbeet; the medicated one can eat the spuds. They
can both eat the broad beans, peas (snow? sugar snap?), beetroot, lettuce,
carrots, turnips, Swedes, mustard and cress, parsnips, etc.

For flavour, swedes win hands down IMO.
