February
Generally
An odd month when things can be decent enough but then zapped by frost, which throws a spanner into supply lines.
Vegetables
Commentary
Beware frost. Watercress will be quickest indicator of this since if its beds freeze over it cannot survive. But it quickly re-establishes itself.
Belgian chicory good for salads at this time.
Shopping List
Really, whatever looks good.
Fruit and Nuts
Commentary
Seville oranges end about mid-month so don't forget. Otherwise most things are tailing off.
