Roots and sprouts available be,

throughout Jan and February.

Leeks, cauliflower, and cabbage too,

can be enjoyed ere winters through.

then coulours come with march's thaw:
rhubarb, carrots and beets from the store.

but aprils menus are a riddle,

as stored crops run out in the middle;

mere salads must your table dress,

with lettuces and watercress

May be warm, but it is cruel;

Few things grow this month, as a rule

but then ar last some lunch appears:

New potatoes and asparagus spears!

rejoice therefore and clap your hands

Now is the time to slaughter Lambs

In june, the veg are in full swing

And so are some fruits, including:

blackcurrants, cherries and tomatoes

they are a fruit kist like avocados

berries too are on the loose

the early ones, both straw and goose.

In summer, veg are hard to miss

thanks to photosynthesis:

fennel, herbs, beans green and broad

carrots can again be stored

peppers courgettes nice and chewy

time to make rattauille

then tree fruit with september comes

that means apples, pears and plums,

soon purple things are also seen

red cabbage, beets and aubergine.

and nows the time in case you wondered

that onions and spuds are keenly plundered

the growing season is nearly over

when marrows plucked around october

although this month is also big

in apples pears and fresh picked figs

By Guy Fawkes night the frost is freed,

But that wont stop the hearty swede.

parsnips too, the soil expel,

some cabbages and leeks as well

they'll be needed just remember

as bugger all grows in December
