We’re still grappling with the slow beginning to the growing season
June 16, 2024
What a good selection of vegetables in our boxes this week, despite the late start to the growing season. After such a challenging winter, we’re buying in far more box contents than usual at this time of year. Our own crops continue to come on slowly in the unusually cool June temperatures.
In all this week’s veg boxes:-
*broad beans
*whole lettuce
*new potatoes ‘Colleen’
*carrots (Organic North)
Cornish strawberries (Gluvian Growers, St Columb)
*dried British chickpeas or lentils (Hodmedod’s)
Also in the standard boxes:
*chard or turnips
*sprouted alfalfa seeds
*purple sprouting broccoli (Organic North)
* = grown to organic principles. Please wash all veg thoroughly
