It is too cold to be out sowing seeds but the spring vegetables are doing well. There are plenty of green leafy vegetables and the different coloured chards and silver beets, as well as curly kales are enough to create a variety of dishes from plain stir-fry to fillings for pies or curry puffs.
The asparagus are beginning to shoot up and three or four stems are enough for a meal when added to finely sliced chards and a sprinkling of chopped chives. Both the garlic chives and the ordinary chives are thriving and my effort at splitting big clumps into many smaller clumps are giving me more to harvest from. The snowpeas are quite prolific and I have to remember to pinch the shoots which will make a good addition to the salad green.
