Welcome to Grow Cook Eat D'Arange, the podcast of me, Sarah Raven, and various different guests that roves through different areas of specialism each week. And this week, I'm rejoined by Tom Stimson who is what we call head of

horticulture in my mail order business but he's much more than that because
