In no language I know. I heard this explanation on some cooking
show. That such info may be bogus does not surprise me.

I saw an ingredient called "spring vegetables" the other day in a
Jamie Oliver recipe, but the term wasn't defined.

I may be going out on a limb, but I am willing to bet it means the
vegetables that come up in the spring, like peas, asparagus, fiddle
heads, as opposed to squashes and others that come in the fall. They are
called fall vegetables.

I think you can add broccoli, lettuce, radishes, spinach (greens),
green onions, parsley. These are the vegetables that I would expect
to be able to eat from my garden in the spring. The ones that are
green leaves would be the earliest. Depending upon how long you
consider spring to be, you could include beets and carrots, turnips,
stuff like that. These veggies really do not like to grow in the heat
of summer.

That makes more sense to me. Thanks.

I agree. I don't have a garden but if I can't buy it at the local farm
stands in the spring, chances are it isn't a "spring" vegetable. At
least not in this part of the US.

What time of year would you be able to buy peas, asparagus and
fiddleheads? That's what I'd call spring, even if it's February.

We've got a good chance of early spring vegetables here, thanks
to El Nino. I'm not sure the ground is really even frozen; the
grass is green when it's usually brown.

Fiddleheads, never. That is very much a northern thing.

I don't actually know anyone who grows asparagus. I can buy fresh peas
at the farm stand in March or April. All sorts of greens, too.

Good luck with the garden prospects.

I take that back. It was Spring greens. Someone I asked said it was
and obscure term but he understood it to mean kale, collards and other
things I don't cook.
