Last week Michael planted a tubful of leek seeds and it's time to get the seeds started for our early cole crops. We try to get those crops, along with peas, onions, spinach, and other early spring greens and veg, into the ground between March 15th and 30th. Planting the seeds indoors now signals to me that we're sliding down the backside of winter. We've got a few cellared vegetables left but not much. We're pretty good for frozen and canned stuff. But for fresh green stuff I'm now making more frequent trips to Green's Garage where I can find organic if not strictly local stuff and local greenhouse grown things although that's beginning to look pretty rough as well. So between my stash and theirs, this week's entry (entree) in the DDC is based on the Fall Vegetable Tart from The Roasted Vegetable by Andrea Chesman.
