Tomatoes
We have 83 tomato plants, nearly all in our polytunnel. After a dismal show in July and early August, they have suddenly produced a kilo a day.

I have just finished writing A Book for Cooks (published by Merrell this autumn). This is a list of my 101 favourite cookery books (I collect them.)
This year we decided to plant a pictorial meadow – pictorial because, though it looks similar to a wild flower meadow, the flowers are not all wild. We were just in time.
The chives and wild garlic are up and so is the sorrel (buckler leaved, like little medieval shields). Apparently, sorrel is so short-lived that you will never find it in a supermarket.
Where would we be without Ebay? This weekend we collected 30 large, antique terracotta plant pots from Essex.
