Vitamin and mineral plant growth question.

The best way to get all the vits and mins you need is to eat seasonally, and to eat as many "colours" as you can. Canning, preserving, freezing etc are all great ways to store foods, but there is nothing to touch actually eating the fresh stuff with the bloom of just picked on it. Plan your garden around a year's worth of eating accordingly. Right now, I have runner beans coming up in the greenhouse, asparagus sprouting in the garden, peas growing and salads coming along - just a start of the backbone of our fresh food for the coming summer.
