EP1 The Potato Aug 30, 2019

Far from humble, the potato is a great source of nutrition, and surely the most versatile vegetable in terms of how it can be cooked. Presenter Karen O'Donohoe joins the crew of a Thornton's Recycling bin lorry as it collects brown bins from an estate in Dublin and finds out exactly what happens to the vegetable peelings and grass cuttings we throw into the bins.

EP2 Tomatoes - A Meal in Themselves Sep 06, 2019

Unfortunately, most of the imported supermarket tomatoes we buy taste of absolutely nothing at all. It is not until you grow your own that you realize this. The homegrown tomato is a delectable treat, and while a little TLC is required to grow them, it's worth the effort.

EP3 Garlic Sep 13, 2019

Garlic is relatively easy to grow and stores extremely well. It's also incredibly good for you. The garlic requirements of an average family can be easily satisfied by even the smallest vegetable patch, or container. Take any bulb of garlic, break out the cloves and stick them in to the ground spaced about 4 inches apart, and each clove will eventually turn in to a bulb of garlic.

Many people have an aversion to beetroot because the only way they have ever tasted it is boiled and drowned in vinegar!
