We grow, apples, plums, cherries, pear, hazel nuts, gooseberries, various currants, black and raspberry, strawberry, pots, carrot and just about every other Veg you can think of, trying out asparagus and artichoke this year. Some we get enough stored for near year round, like blueberry juice, lingon jam, chanterelles dried, root Veg in cellar, other stuff pickled or frozen. Other stuff obviously doesn't keep or grow in winter. Plan to build a new green house this summer, experimenting with ground heat stores and smaller wood burner to extend season a month or so either side of winter.

That's pretty impressive. We're hoping to upgrade the greenhouse so that we can grow tomatoes all year round.

@skogsbo: you grow pots? Is that legal in Sweden.

I think maybe 'pots' means 'potatoes'?

Talking of real 'pot', we discovered a cannabis plant growing in the garden once - must have been wind or bird sown.
Extra income (albeit illicit) sprung to mind laugh.gif
