I am from a countryside myself and we always had a harden, orchard, chickensand bees! Always ate veggies from there from early spring till late winter. The ones that could be stored in cold like potatoes, onions, beets, carrots.

The taste is absolutely incomparable! Of course there is some work to be done, but it is so worth it.

I agree with Ludmila - try the peas! Oh so so good. We sometimes plant it just to eat it raw when it is still very young. But it needs to be young. Then the peas inside are still very juicy and sweet. Later when the mature they get dry.
You can also eat the green pod they are in (when young), just need to remove the very thin skin from the inside. It is darn hard! All raw. A garden snack.
