Grow Your Own in February
Only February and the growing season starts already! If it’s not too freezing and / or wet outside you can get an early sowing of broadbeans, beetroots and garlic in. And if it is still too unpleasant outside, peppers, chillies and tomatoes can be sown on a window sill. After a few years of poor parsnip crops, last year I experimented with sowing them in March rather than February as most seed packets advise. It was an immense success. In past years, despite resowing rows several times, I only ended up with a measly two or three parsnips. This year, with a later sowing, I’ve got two full rows – brilliant! So I’d advise holding off on them till next month. Last year I had a fair chilli crop and decided to have a go at making chilli jam. It was a doddle, really tasty for on sandwiches, salads or stirring into dressings. Peppers, chillies (including seeds), ginger and garlic are whizzed in a food processor and then boiled with vinegar and sugar (I used sugar with added pectin to ensure it set). There are loads of recipes online. It looked beautiful and would have made nice gifts in attractive jars. If you’ve got autumn raspberry canes now’s the time to cut them all down to ground level as, unlike spring varieties, these raspberries will fruit on new growth. I save the canes and use them to support my peas. I notice that lots of plots don’t seem to have much going on on them over winter, bar a few Brussel sprout plants (admittedly looking much better than my bent, overblown specimens). There are plenty of summer sown veg you can leave in the ground and harvest all winter though. It might be too cold or wet to do any work on your plot but you can still pop up each week and be harvesting red and savoy cabbage, leeks, parsnips, beetroots, swede, celeriac, celery, carrots, Brussel sprouts, kale. Once again this winter, despite its difficult reputation, I’ve been pulling florets off my calabrese broccoli all through winter. Maybe it’s because we’ve had such a mild one again… Kale was first cultivated by the Greeks from 400BC as a medicinal vegetable which was believed to cure drunkenness. I have a kale plant in the back garden that produces leaves all year round but I tend only to use it if I run out of everything else. I’ve just read though that it’s one of the most nutrient dense natural foods on the planet containing vitamins and minerals that are hard to source elsewhere. A 100g serving contains 1021% RDI of vitamin K, 200% RDI of vitamin C and 308% RDI of vitamin A. It also contains powerful antioxidants which help fight the aging process. I’ll be incorporating it into more meals now!
