years supply....

[Liz 89]

what do you all think it is possible to grow an all year round supply of, with only an unheated greenhouse, and the great outdoors??
a list of possible possibles i have at the moment is:

potatoes
carrots
pumpkins and squashes
onions
lettuce
cabbage?
swede?

i think that was about it, apart from the things you can freeze.
the list is based on using storage aswell as fresh harvest, and using different types, ie early, maincrop and late carrots, etc.

is there anything else you think it is possible to supply yourself with all year round??

Cabbage can be grown and eaten fresh all year round by careful planting of the different types - Spring Greens, early pointed cabbage, summer cabbage, savoy cabbage, winter cabbage, red cabbage - I grow cabbages for my box scheme all year round.
Not sure about swede - think it might struggle in storage when the heat of spring gets on it - unless you have a chilled storage facility.

Chard and perpetual spinach can both be grown all year round to supply you with fresh greens.
