Spring vegetables in April

La Tierra Verde is a small scale market garden. We grow seasonal crops. Although some vegetables are available all year round, most vegetables have their own growing season. Because of the climate in the Extremadura the crops are mainly grown in open ground. A few plastic tunnels protect a number of vegetables from the cold weather in spring. When the sun starts to get stronger, the plastic is removed from the tunnels, and if necessary replaced by shade cloth. The plastic and shade cloth tunnels are mainly used for seedlings.

The list below is a prediction. Due to weather conditions we cannot guarantee when a crop is ready, or if it is available.

•  Snow peas
•  Lettuce (see the Lettuce Special)
•  Spring onions
•  Leek
•  Spinach
•  Swiss chard
•  Radish
•  Turnip tops
•  Rucola
