Hungry month

I read something about February being the "hungry month" for people living off the land, past and present.

Well, we're far from living off the land, but I've made more of an effort this year than ever before. I'm starting to understand the term "hungry month".

I'm raiding the freezer for frozen berries that we picked this summer.

I'm running out of applesauce from the tree in our neighbor's yard.

I recently used my last onion and garlic head from the farmers market last summer.

And I'm losing interest in buying seasonally.

Guess I'm ready for spring.

Come on asparagus and rhubarb and sugar snap peas.
