In the ground in summer are many potatoes and onions, several varieties of lettuce, petit pois and sugar snap peas (with tender pods like
mange tout, but the size of ordinary peas), two kinds of runner beans, tomatoes ranging from small yellow ones that are sweet like grapes
to huge cookers, peppers, herbs, flowers, green and yellow courgettes and in the end far too many things to mention.
Over the autumn the contents of the bags changes gradually as the summer crops come to an end, and other things come into their own. These
include: broccoli, carrots, curly kale, black kale, various kinds of squashes, savoy cabbages, leeks, parsnips, jerusalem artichokes,
celeriac etc
A typical box always contains onions and potatoes, plus five or six other items. eg in spring a typical box might have 1kg potatoes, 400g onions,
a salad bag, purple sprouting broccoli, two or three leeks, celeriac, mushrooms and carrots.
See the links page for the veg-box recipes site which can help you identify anything you don't recognise, and offer ideas of what
to do with it.
When I don’t have enough produce to fill the boxes myself, I buy in from other producers using
similar methods and as locally as possible.
