01
Unique fruits
The ones you see once at a market and never again. Can they grow here, and do they taste better fresh?
Grow
Don't just eat interesting food. Grow some.
Why this, why me
Most food creators stop at the plate.
I have spent a long time eating food in quantities that make people uncomfortable. The more I ate, the more I cared about where it came from, what it tasted like at its best, and why the best version is almost never in the supermarket.
So the obsession went upstream. Grow is where I try to raise the strange and the excellent myself, from a windowsill tray of microgreens to fruit most people have never tasted, and report back honestly on what works, what doesn't and whether it was worth it.
What we grow
Seven beds.
02
Unique vegetables
Heirlooms, oddballs and the vegetables other cuisines take for granted.
03
Microgreens
The fastest payoff in growing: seed to plate in days, on a windowsill.
04
Sprouts
Jar, water, patience. The cheapest way to put something alive on the table.
05
Herbs
Where home growing beats buying every single time, and which herbs actually justify the space.
06
Organic food
What the label means, what it doesn't, and when it changes the taste.
07
Interesting plants & ingredients
Edible flowers, unusual leaves, ingredients that start as a plant you'd walk past.
