Grow, Cook, Eat
Grow Cook Eat is a new series about how you can grow your own food: you can grow vegetables and fruit in a very small garden, or even in containers on an apartment balcony, you don't need half an acre or a polytunnel to do it.
Onions
In this first episode, Michael and Karen focus on a household staple – the onion. Easy to grow and very low maintenance, both red and white varieties are sown in the raised bed with Karen holding back some of the sets for container growing.
Pumpkins
In this second episode, Michael and Karen take a fresh look at the pumpkin and why it's a fantastic vegetable to grow, cook and eat during the year, rather than just buy, carve and dump at Halloween.
Sweetcorn
This week's episode is all about the highs and lows of growing a more ambitious vegetable - in Michael and Karen's case, sweetcorn, and all they can say is third time lucky!
Courgettes
Halfway through the series and it's time to introduce the courgette or as Michael Kelly calls it, 'The Vegetable of Mass Production'!
Kale
Once a vegetable grown to feed cattle, but now a staple ingredient for juicers everywhere, Kale is the fifth vegetable to feature in this series.
French Beans
Who knew French Beans were so easy to grow? Michael Kelly says French Beans are one of the most straightforward.
Chilli Peppers
In this final programme of the second season, it's all about the chili pepper, which is very hot, but also very easy to grow.
