The Winter Larder

BBC Two - The Edible Garden, The Winter Larder

Alys grows Jerusalem artichokes to harvest when the rest of the garden sleeps.

Alys Fowler tries to avoid shop-bought fruit and veg and live off home-grown produce. Alys shows how an edible garden can provide for the leaner months.

Alys Fowler attempts to avoid shop-bought fruit and vegetables and live off her own, home-grown produce, all from her tiny terraced back garden. It's no easy task because Alys doesn't want to turn her garden into an allotment, so she's growing her fruit and vegetables among her flowers. 

Alys will focus on different foods and show how anyone can grow, cook and eat from their own garden, even if they live in a city. 

As well as providing fruit and vegetables to eat in season, an edible garden needs to provide for the leaner months. That means growing crops that guarantee a plentiful harvest, enough to enjoy right away and enough to store. 

Alongside courgettes, squashes and kale, Alys grows Jerusalem artichokes to harvest when the rest of the garden sleeps. She also learns how to preserve the flavours of her garden using simple pickling recipes and forages for seeds in the 'wild larder'. Finally, Alys plants up winter crops to tide her over until next spring.
