This quick guide to seasonal produce is ideal for anyone who would like to eat in season. Foods grown locally not only taste better and are cheaper, but also support your local farmers, and are less likely to be covered in chemicals or plastic. Note that during April, we have a hungry gap, when the only thing you can really eat is kale! So it’s time to raid your freezer for frozen goodies you harvested back in sunny days. Spring Vegetable Pasta (Crowded Kitchen) is loaded with leeks, asparagus and peas, in a lemon white wine sauce and herbed breadcrumbs.
If growing your own produce, see how to make your garden safe for pets, to know toxic plants (and other items) to avoid (including kale, garlic, onion, leeks, chives, mushrooms, grapes, fruit pips & seeds, green potatoes/onions).
