Grow Cook Eat
Season 3
Michael Kelly, founder of GIY (Grow It Yourself), and Karen O'Donohoe offer step-by-step guidance in growing vegetables in raised beds and containers. Each episode focuses on a single vegetable, and moves from seed, through thinning, watering, and potential problems, to the kitchen. A guest cook demonstrates 1-3 recipes anyone can replicate at home. The series is filmed in the brilliant landscape colors of Southern Ireland, but the gardening and cooking principles are universal.

E2Oriental GreensTrusty heads of iceberg lettuce are set aside to make room for their exotic cousins – mizuna, rocket and mustard greens. Easy to grow in beds and perfect for containers, these cut-and-come-again greens can be harvested multiple times, making them the ideal beginners’ crop. - Cucumber
E3CucumberMick is feeling cool as a cucumber with his well-rehearsed veg trivia, new polytunnels and boy scout knowledge of cucumber growing. While there’s more to it than the veg grown in earlier episodes, Karen shows how this prolific plant can also be grown outdoors in Container Corner, alongside some miniature cucumelons.
