Provisional contents of bags for the week starting 20 March
Local leafy greens are abundant right now. We have pungent wild garlic from Martin at Ripple Farm (try it in a pesto, soup or courgette salad), bags of tasty GC salad from Sophie and Alice at our farms in Hackney and Daganham, and lots of succulent salad greens from Adrian at Wild Country in Cambridge, such as lemony sorrel (wonderful in this herby spring salsa). But the "hungry gap" is kicking in now - the time when the winter crops are running out while the spring crops are mostly tiny seedlings. We're having to source more of our veg from further afield - some of the onions, carrots and cabbages come from Europe this week and the Greek avocadoes mark the end of the European avocado season. But three cheers for our homegrown seasonal heroes: kalettes, leeks, cavolo nero and purple sprouting broccoli.
