0:20.0	Hello everybody and welcome to Grow Cook Eat Arrange, the podcast of me, Sarah Raven, and
0:26.2	normally Arthur Parkinson. But today, because we're concentrating on veg and cooking,
0:33.2	actually Arthur's not here, but instead I'm joined by Anna Greenland, who I met several years ago.
0:40.3	We'll chat a little bit about how we met.
0:42.5	And the reason I wanted to talk to Anna is because she's got a new book out, literally in the last couple of weeks, called Grow Easy.
0:51.4	And it's organic crops for pots and small plots and it's just to me just feels so
0:57.7	current and like as we go into winter and then planning through the winter to to emerge as wonderful

2:10.2	by then really pretty new veg garden. And I'd already been growing veg for some time and particularly salads and herbs and
2:19.1	things like that but I remember coming away thinking I'd learnt more in that hour with Anna than
2:25.0	I had from many vegetable growers that I've met over the years and that's why I thought
