Seasonal Produce ~ April
Looking like spring is finally here, & the seasonal produce list is filling out nicely. With the added interest in foraging & wild foods, the decision has been taken now to add a wild food section (but unfortunately this won’t be appearing on the printable PDF) to the seasonal produce list. Wild garlic continues to flourish under the current weather conditions and some of the other wild produce is coming to the fore.
