Our early spring crops are growing well and it’s only a matter of time until we have rhubarb, broad beans and asparagus in our veg boxes.
In the meantime we’re doing our best to fill the boxes with as much variety as possible as the ‘hungry gap’ begins to bite. This is when UK-grown seasonal veg become quite thin on the ground as last year’s crops run out – on the field and in storage – and we wait for the new spring-sown crops to mature.
In all the boxes this week:
*Swiss chard
*Red Russian kale
Cauliflower (Restharrow Farm, Trebetherick)
Leeks (Restharrow)
Beetroot (Restharrow) – small only
