Leeks may well be standing ready but if a long freeze seems likely you can dig some up and heel them in to dug ground for easy access – unless we have deep snow!
Parsnips and swedes in the ground can come up when you are ready, cover with fleece or straw to stop them freezing solid into the ground.
The cabbage family should be providing some sustenance and beet leaves (perpetual spinach) and chards will be available.
On a sunny day it is worth emptying your potato sacks and check for any that are starting to rot before it spreads.
