Banishing gaps and gluts in the vegetable garden
Just as the world is bursting into growth from March to May, the supply of garden-fresh vegetables dwindles. It only catches up when the first sowings start to mature in June - hence the term 'hungry gap'. It can take new gardeners by surprise when they first start growing veg. It is also found it very easy to create periodic hungry gaps, interspersed with gluts. Even your best friends may pretend to be out when you appear on the doorstep with yet another king-size marrow or bucket of tomatoes.
