Eating from the garden in February

Is there anything to eat from the garden/allotment still?  Yes!

  • Self seeded winter greens such as lambs lettuce and miners lettuce.  Throw in a little chickweed and I have a nice little green salad.
  • Newly sprouting perennials:  chives and garlic chives, daylily shoots (these are so yummy they rarely make it all the way to the kitchen).
  • Some veg have overwintered successfully, including a few stray kohl rabi, kale, leeks, a cabbage or two--although sadly quite a few of the cabbages decided it was too cold during our prolonged frost and have bit the dust.
  • We only just finished eating my precious single squash of 2022, which was proudly displayed on my front windowsill until then.  It was perfectly sound and very tasty.  Not to mention several bags and jars of various frozen, dehydrated, and fermented/brined veg (for example: frozen beets, dehydrated tomatoes, garlic/rhubarb pickle)

What else is coming up?  More of the above (except my prized delicious squash that is).  And a lot of work, to get the new crops started for this year's harvest.
