winter vegetables


Its cold and wet and muddy and windy outside.

But its not like that in the polycrub.



I  sowed some brocolli seeds at the end of the summer, and they have been slowly doing their own thing  and we can now start  picking the heads . 



And the curly kale continues to grow and sprout new leaves 



The over-wintered cabbage has been slow to get going and is nowhere near ready to pick



And the purple sprouting brocolli grows well - this is about 5 feet tall. Lots of leaves.
but no pickable heads yet



Strawberries are  doing weel - hopefully some early fruits in a while


And we still have the leeks and carrots that we started  digging up in September are still going strong and will be harvested in due course

Almost year-round self-sufficiency ?
