    This year my winter veg consists of;
    Mibuna
    Mizuna - Red Streaked
    Red Giant - Mustard
    Red Russian kale
    Komatsuma

    I did Kai Lan, Tatsio and the same variety of kale last year and it was successful in offering enough greens for a meal or two a week.
    Fingers crossed the new ones I'm trying this year will cope with the cold as well as the three mentioned did.

      Kyoto Market Bunching onion
      Viroflex Giant Winter spinach
      Mooli radish
      Hamburg parsley
      Rampion
      Spinach
      chinese cabbage
      Cima di Rapa
      Winter gem lettuce
      Mispoona
      Pak choi
      Oriental mustards.
      Precoce de Louviers spring cabbage
      Carrots
      Beetroot
      More kale
      Collards
      and more things I've yet to come across in my seed hoard.
      I'm pushing August sowing into September as its still so mild.

        I have a fair bit of mustard greens on the go, two varieties, and a few kohl rabi (went off the boil with planting recently but will need it again as a displacement activity next week when my youngest starts school *sob*). It seems too me that almost everything plantable now is something you'd stir-fry or use as a cabbage, apart from spring onions and beetroot. Is that pretty much the case?
        Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?

          Actually, cauli-like kohl rabi, spring onions and cabbage doesn't sound too bad for winter veg
          Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?

            I'm sure I've got away with planting leeks in a warm autumn but may be wrong?

              I don't even know what some of these veg are! Suppose I'd better go and look them up!

                  I've just sowed a load of winter salad stuffs and am hoping to sow some peas, broad beans and spinnach in the polytunnel when I get the chance.

                  Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                  Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
