River Cottage Veg: Behind the Scenes

Wednesday 12 October 2011

Sneak into the garden at River Cottage HQ for a chat with Head Gardener, Mark Diacono, and Head of Events, Steve Lamb, about the new show, gardening and tennis balls from Mars

Take a look at our sneaky videos from behind the scenes of River Cottage Veg with Head Gardener, Mark Diacono, and Head of Events, Steve Lamb.

Garden Chat
There's a hint of bromance in the air as Mark explains to Steve why the garden at River Cottage is 'magic' and the two reminisce about how ducks nearly scuppered the crops.

Tasting Tomatoes
If you've never come across a tomato that gets the 'scruttocks' going, then today's your lucky day; Mark and Steve have found one in the River Cottage garden.

Why Men Can't Grow Courgettes
Mark talks to Steve about the best way to grow courgettes and why men are no good at it - apart from him of course, he's a new man!

Edible Flowers
Peppery, sweet and hot, nasturtiums may not keep body and soul together, but they don't half taste good according to Mark. Apparently Hugh's a fan too.
