This is a bit of a trick question! There's no single vegetable that's *never* a spring vegetable. It depends on your climate and growing season.

Here's why:

* Different climates have different growing seasons. Some regions have longer spring seasons than others.

* Some vegetables can be grown year-round in certain areas. For example, tomatoes and peppers might be spring vegetables in cooler climates but are grown year-round in warmer areas.

To answer your question more accurately, you'd need to specify a region or a particular vegetable.

For example:

* In a very cold climate, tomatoes might not be a spring vegetable. They might need to be started indoors and planted later in the season.

* In a tropical climate, broccoli might not be a spring vegetable. It might be grown year-round.
