I've finished off our leeks, Cavalo Nero and curly kale. We still have Swiss Chard which is still stubbornly occupying the place where I want to grow my courgettes. My endive has overwintered well so I'm picking on a cut & come again basis, and also picking young blackcurrant leaves to include in salads. The beetroot which I've stored in peat are all sprouting lovely long red leaves which also go well in a mixed salad.

I know we are now into April but I have just cut my first asparagus.
A good 4 weeks earlier than last year. Must be this crazy weather.

I was using leeks, parsnips, carrots, cabbage, PSB, from the allotment.

Also using broad beans and gooseberries from the freezer :D
Cheers PJ.

Wow Plumpudding you did well.
Just waiting for my early peas, they have pods on, waiting for them to fill out now.
