Here at VegBox Recipes we’re waving goodbye to Pak Choi and Winter Lettuce. And it’s almost goodbye time for Apples and Pears… But if you’re lucky towards the end of this month, it’s also hello time for Purple Sprouting Brocolli, (aka PSB to save the mouthful!).

Here’s the run down …

Apples (last ones from stores)
Beetroot
Brussels Sprouts

Cabbage (white and red)
Carrots
Cauliflower

Celery
Chard or “Swiss” Chard

Jerusalem Artichoke (STOP PRESS – watch out for a special feature!)

Joe – thanks so much for the lovely comment! I just had a squiz at your website and wanted to give it a plug:

How about adding “Seasonal” as a cuisine type on the Recipes and Photography pages? We’d be happy to upload a few to get the tag going!

Thank you for the plug Claire! Much appreciated. We’re at the early stages with the site and feedback like this is more than welcome. We’ll add seasonal as a cuisine type and let you know when it is live, would be great to have your input.
