I don't get fanatical about it.  But, I try to eat what I've grown year round also.  Two things I find that help get me through the "hungry gap" are Jerusalem Artichokes, they can be harvested mid winter and Asparagus which is the first thing to produce a harvest in the spring.

How's the challenge going?
We just had our first asparagus of the year with dinner, and then this thread was recommended at the bottom of a post I was reading.

I was doing pretty good initially then sort of stopped tracking things as it became less of a focus.  Add in a long trip away from home...

I'm back on my homestead now and while it's still mostly brown outside things are starting to grow which makes the challenge easier.  Today I harvested some daylily shoots and had them as part of a green curry.  When working in the yard and greenhouse I'm seeing a few things that can go in my salads such as arugula, dandelion, sheep sorrel, and wild carrot greens.
 
Ew. You guys are ugly with a capital UG. Here, maybe this tiny ad can help:
