  Anticipate Spring 

 
    It may be spring in our greenhouses, but as far as the garden is concerned, winter is really still here!  Now is still a good time to savor some of the elegant roots of winter:
White Salsify has a refined oyster-like muskiness so beloved by French diners it is often served on a plate of its own.  Leeks are usually a base ingredient.  But our Long White Leeks (Titan) are so rich and creamy they also can be served alone.  (We take great care in hilling them so you can be assured there will be no dirt inside – opening up the opportunity to serve them in full ring slices!)  Another delicious delicacy that easily stands on its own is Parsley Root.  Think “white carrots”.  The tiny spirals of Crosnes make an absolutely charming garnishing vegetable.  (But they also have a nutty artichoke flavour completely belying their origins in the mint family).  A little known root, (likely because it is so tricky to grow) is the Tuberous Chervil Root.  Its delicate licorice notes are superb as a puree.
   To lower your labour costs, make generous use of our large and easy to clean, peel and slice (i.e. knob-free) Jerusalem Artichokes.  And don’t forget our true Turnips – another great delicacy (when not overcooked).  To assist with your presentations we have them in Red, Amber and White. 
   For a bit of spice Red Valentine Radishes, Green Flesh Radishes, Black Icicle Radishes and Red Icicle Radishes are all lovely accompaniments in colourful winter salads, stunning garnishes, quick pickles, or amazing grilled vegetables.  For drama, our white-tipped French Breakfast Radish and purple/pink Easter Egg Radish, both with attached crisp green leaves, are indeed a herald of Spring.
   Gold Beets, Candy Cane Beets, White Beets and Red Cylinder Beets sorted to your choice of size are rich and sweet with beautifully intense colours.  Consider baking, then marinating them while still hot in vinaigrette as an alternative to off-season winter tomatoes.      Red Carrots, Purple Carrots, Yellow Carrots, and Orange Nantes Carrots are at their luscious prime (raw or cooked) at this time of year.  Consider using them as a local, seasonal alternative for your coloured pepper presentations. 
   Now that the Aitkens fad has faded, memorable potatoes can be welcomed back to your menus.  Our long-time flavorful stars (even sans butter and salt) are the waxy Fingerling, the starchy La Ratte, the red-skinned Roseval, and the All Blue Potatoes.  (For a super intense blue, cook then chill overnight before reheating for use.)
 

From Our New “Cool Room”       
 

 
   The usefully small Winter Nugget Squash is still ready for your cool weather menus.  They give a smile when sliced and grilled; or filled with soup or a stuffing.  (We are doing our best to sort out super-hard-skinned for your kitchen safety.  If you get one too hard to safely cut open, just ask for a no-charge replacement!
   Fresh tomatoes are in fact growing vigorously in the greenhouse nursery.  But last summer’s sunny heat provided a great supply of Sun-Dried Tomatoes and our famous apple/cherry/maple wood Smoke-Dried Tomatoes.  They add zip to everything – so keep some on hand in your culinary “first aid kit”.   

 

And from Our Sunny Warm Greenhouses     

 

 
   Our ever-popular Baby Salad Greens are still tender and sweet with about 35 fascinating ingredients.  (If your guests need a Guide while they enjoy them, ask for a copy of our Watercolour Poster.)  Other tasteful salad leaves are winter Claytonia, Fava Bean Leaves, mixed Baby Arugulas, and mixed Baby Cresses.  Sorrel Leaves are ready to provide hot-weather refreshment.
   For dramatic colour Edible Flower Mix, and Edible Flower Petals are exceptional.  (Supplies are happily in full swing again!)
   And do not forget the stunning presentations, tastes and aromas you can obtain from just a splash of our beautiful Garnishing Leaves.  Red/Green Onions and Green Garlic are at their peaks.  Rainbow of Chards are also back in full swing again for beautiful yummy presentations.
