GROWING FOR GOLD

How have you been during these troubling times we are living in?

I’m very lucky being able to go to the seven acres that I own down the road where I have a small nursery specialising in growing vegetables, many of them for my displays as well as supplying the local butcher and a couple of restaurants.

Can you tell us a bit about your horticultural journey so far? Did you start at a young age?

I started when I was eight or nine helping, or thinking I was helping, my father to plant his early potatoes, carrying them for him and trampling all over his freshly forked soil. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude for
