Well for starters, SNOW seems to be in season!
Which means that here at VegBox Recipes, garden activity has ground to a halt and we’re considering wrapping the composter in bubblewrap and carpet to keep the bacteria warm and working. Whilst pondering, we’re making cosy Jerusalem Artichoke soup and working in front of the fire. Lovely …

In the same carnival you’ll find a very inspiring submission from Stephanie at Stop the Ride, called “Tomatoes in my Tub” – interesting reading for anyone growing their own this year, especially if you’re still battling with cold weather conditions.
We are still buying fresh, local collards which are not on the list. We also have a few fresh turnips left.
Hey Cindy… thanks for dropping by!
Collards huh? Not a word I see much over here in the UK … I think they’re the same cultivar as kale … one of the brassicas? What’s your best collard recipe? And what will you do with the turnips?
