Welcome to Grow Cook Eat Arrange, the podcast of me, Sarah Raven and Arthur Parkinson.

And in this episode, we're going to talk about two of our absolute favourite plants, really close to our heart, which are tomatoes, which I love, and sweet peas peas which Arthur and I both love.

Now, I am on a campaign to convince Arthur about tomatoes because bizarrely he doesn't really like them, do you?

No, and I'm not intending on spending any time sewing any again.

What do you hold against a tomato?

Well, I just find them very needy and very ugly until you get the fruit.

And I remember growing a whole crop of them for Emma Bridgewater and being very proud of them

and taking them into the cafe that we'd got and the chef glanced at them and went,

oh, thank you very much. And I saw at the corner of my eye a whole beautiful tray of heritage

tomatoes that he'd obviously ordered from, you know, a very good greengrocer.

I just thought all that bloody space, time and effort spent growing these things when they

had just been bought in anyway. Right. So I've, and for someone who's not got much space,

they're not something that's on my desert island seed list, I'm afraid.

But have you ever tried the Texan wild cherry tomato, which is it's sometimes called

the current tomato? And it's a really quite small thing. It's like the size, I don't know,

of maybe the size of my thumbnail. And what it is, it cascades at the size of the size, I don't know, of maybe the size of my thumbnail.

And what it is, it cascades out the side of a pot.

And what you can get is literally every day you can pick a handful of these absolute sugar bombs.

And they're really pretty.
