News: Spring 2013 - 22nd March, 2013

Spring is officially here. Crocuses are beginning to flower, primroses are in dull swing. Birds are beginning to get active, dawn chorus is starting each morning. This is the start of new life, bringing new foods with it. It is time to get working in the garden, if you haven't already. It is too cold for me outside still, but I am getting started with seeds and things. Cooking with seasonal food is great, keep an eye out for spring foods. Some of the things to keep a look out for in spring are;

Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Spring Cabbage, Carrots, Wild Garlic, Leeks, Jersey Royal Potatoes, Spinach, Asparagus, Watercress, Spring Lamb, Lobster, Mackerel, Mussels, Sardines, Trout, Crab, Wild Salmon, Dover Sole, Gurnard, Hake, Langoustine, Lemon Sole, Whitebait.
