Hungry Gap

We are now well and truly into what gardeners call the 'hungry gap'- this week we finished our last stored onions,potatoes and squash. I'm really pleased with how long our produce has lasted this year- of course we still have vegetables and fruit frozen or made into jam or chutney to use.
I like to think we eat more seasonally now and in the allotment there is now asparagus to pick along with leeks, sorrel ,spinach, chard and a few little carrots-it looks as if the spring cabbage could be cut and Trev has seen a tiny cauliflower just developing!
News on the bee front- in about four weeks we should be welcoming a nuc of bees to our garden!! Can hardly wait!!!
