Yeah, your growing season is longer than what it is here. And I can imagine you do have some variety. Some peeps think winter veg are boring, but there's so much you can do with them.
Do you do any of the weird & wonderful like scorzonera and kohlrabi?
Tried scorzonera, tasty but not really practical at any scale.
But yes kohlrabi, multicoloured turnips, black radish, and all sorts of other roots, and leafage, plus the summer grown squash released from their store over the winter.
Winter veg is very far from dull.
I'm looking forward to the the chicory bulking up.. I can eat tonnes of the stuff.. It's Its like my mid winter catnip.
In mundane news.
Almost got a weekend off. - as much as you ever can on a farm.
Much needed life-admin to catch up on - a couple of union reports to write.
Some trip photo-journalling to indulge in (my guilty time-wasting pleasure)
And a decent length bike ride on Sunday - so long as the weather plays nicely.
The lanes are a tad mucky right now.. Too-wide tractors mashing up the verges, of the little Devon lanes with their mahoosive wheels
required.
But I had an itch that needed scratching.
