In this episode I have a look at growing Oca, one of the Lost Crops of the Inca, and a tuber that can be used like potatoes but which doesn’t have problems with blight. My seed tubers came from Real Seeds; keep an eye on their website to find out which varieties they’ll be offering for sale for next year.

Madeleine from Mad About Herbs talks about her pineapple sage plants – they’re brightening up her conservatory at the moment. Follow the link for photos and recipes.
