Veggie Month in the United Kingdom, celebrated in March, encourages people to eat more vegetables and highlights the benefits of a plant-based diet. It promotes healthier eating habits but also about understanding the environmental impact of food choices. During Veggie Month, various events educate people about vegetarian and vegan diets, including cooking demonstrations, recipe sharing, and discussions about sustainable agriculture.
In terms of vegetables that are in season in the UK in March, you'll find a variety of hearty vegetables that thrive in the cooler weather. Some of these include:
Leeks—prized for their mild, onion-like flavor, leeks are versatile and can be used in various dishes, from soups to pies.
Brussels Sprouts—these small, cabbage-like vegetables deliver a slightly bitter, nutty flavor.
Parsnips—a root vegetable, parsnips are sweet and can be roasted, boiled, or used in soups and stews.
Cabbage—available in several varieties, cabbage is a staple in many dishes and can be used in everything from salads to fermented foods like sauerkraut.
Kale—a hardy green vegetable, kale is packed with nutrients and added to salads, smoothies, or as a cooked side dish.
Swede (Rutabaga) is a root vegetable that is a cross between a cabbage and a turnip (swede). It is often mashed or used in stews.
For those looking to plant vegetables in March for a summer or fall harvest in the UK, consider the following options:
Tomatoes: Start them indoors in March and transplant them outside after the last frost. They require a sunny spot and regular watering.
Peppers: Like tomatoes, peppers should be started indoors and moved outside in late spring. They need warmth and sunlight to thrive.
Beetroot: Easy to grow, beetroot can be sown directly into the soil in March for a summer harvest.
Carrots: These can be sown directly into the ground in March. They need loose, well-drained soil.
Lettuce and Salad Leaves: Perfect for continuous harvesting, these can be sown directly into the ground or in containers.
Peas: Hardy and easy to grow, peas can be sown directly into the ground in March. They require support as they grow.
Remember, gardening success can vary based on specific local climate conditions, so it's always a good idea to consult a local gardening expert or resource for tailored advice.
