Episode synopsis
Unfortunately, most of the imported supermarket tomatoes we buy taste of absolutely nothing at all. It is not until you grow your own that you realize this. The homegrown tomato is a delectable treat, and while a little TLC is required to grow them, it's worth the effort.
About Grow, Cook, Eat
Michael Kelly, founder of GIY (Grow It Yourself), and Karen O'Donohoe offer step-by-step guidance in growing vegetables in raised beds and containers. Each episode focuses on a single vegetable, and moves from seed, through thinning, watering, and potential problems, to the kitchen. A guest cook demonstrates 1-3 recipes anyone can replicate at home. The series is filmed in the brilliant landscape colors of Southern Ireland, but the gardening and cooking principles are universal.
