Growing your own food - Alan Titchmarsh

BBC Gardeners' World Magazine podcast - Episode 2

Growing food has been the lockdown activity for so many of us through the pandemic, but can you turn a summer’s interest into a passion for life? We ask Alan Titchmarsh, one of our national gardening treasures, to share his tips for success with fruit and veg – whatever your growing space and conditions. From what to grow in a shady city courtyard to encouraging kids to get gardening, plus sharing harvesting tips and family recipes, Alan will give you the confidence to just have a go – and the appetite to start right now!

Listen to this conversation between Alan and Lucy Hall, editor of BBC Gardeners' World Magazine from Thursday 3 December, 2020:
