Am I able to freeze veggies and then thaw it before giving it to the pigs? Reason I ask is because the veg selection in town is quite poor at the moment.

No there isn't. Didn't have a good harvest last year though because of the heatwaves. Frazzled everything! Hopefully this year will be better.There's nothing quite like growing your own veggies and watching your piggies enjoy munching on them is there!
Can't wait for spring when I can start foraging and growing veggies in the garden.
I have 2 unheated greenhouses. It's too cold in there at the moment to grow anything. I put the herbs in there to protect against the frosts and they've gone into a dormant state.I totally agree with @Wheekallweek, growing your own veggies and seeing your piggies eating some fresh produce really is enjoyable!
Do you have an old, unused structure/shed that you could turn into a greenhouse? Greenhouses can stretch the growing season for warmth loving summer crops like bell pepper because they trap in the sun's heat. Not to mention that greenhouses also have countless other benefits for growing veggies.
Haven't tried mine with chicory either. As a couple of them have IC I'll have to see if it triggers them off. If all goes well I'll look into growing some. Does it do better in pots or in the ground?I still have chicory growing in my veg patch... even that freezing cold weather a few weeks ago didn't kill it! Might be worth a go for you this year @Engel
My chard kept producing leaves through late spring and up until the heatwave last year. It never recovered. Definitely going to grow them again this year as pigs enjoyed them and so did I in stir fry.I've never tried them with chicory. I will look out for some seeds. The raspberry chard that was growing in a tub in the garden that was turned to sludge by the snow is sprouting again, it seems chard is very hardy!
