Grow Your Own is still going strong


Thursday, December 03, 2009

It's been a good year in many ways, the garden was packed full of a great array of vegetables and herbs.  Obviously I was trialling (again) all the crops that I'm offering with my new 'Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood', so we've had mountains of sugarsnap peas, climbing French Beans, potatoes, onions , garlic, calabrese, beetroot, carrots, sweetcorn, lettuce, coriander,courgettes, peppers, tomatoes , cucumbers, spinach etc etc (yes, all the crops you can see in the Grow Your Own section on this site).  But to add to all that, I was also growing a lot of crops for BBC Gardeners' World Magazine, for a series of articles about how to grow various veg.  A seriously bumper harvest.  But the great thing is that, even in December we're still enjoying a good amount of home veg - Setton onions, the garlic, the sweet and chili peppers, beetroot, the potatoes and even plenty of frozen tomatoes.  And then of course there are some delicious leeks and parsnips, makes me think I should add them in to the 'Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood ' collection for next year......

Pippa on BBC Garderners' World

This must be the first year that I've harvested a crop of garlic with no traces of rust: not a pustule in sight.

I adore home-grown courgettes. They lack that slightly bitter taste and spongy texture you can get with supermarket specimens.

This year we held our annual Gardeners' Question Time Garden Party at our GQT garden at Sparsholt College near Winchester, Hampshire.

Well, here I sit in the backstage area of the main theatre at BBC Gardeners' World Live [...] Earlier we recorded the first of several mini Gardeners' Question Time programmes.
