We all have a jar of our very own tomato chutney this week – made last autumn when we had a glut of tomatoes, onions and apples. So useful now during the so-called hungry gap, the leanest time of the year for fresh, seasonal, locally-grown vegetables in the UK.

The hungry gap is starting to have an effect on our veg box contents. This week we’ve had to buy in Cornish cabbages and cauliflowers from wholesalers Total Produce in Bodmin. Fortunately the spring crops in our polytunnels are coming on well and more of our home-grown veg should be ready soon.
