Our weather patterns are mercurial. What you must remember about Great Britain is we have a uniquely temperate climate not shared by any other country in Europe. We can grow plants from every country in the world. The result is 90% of the plants in our gardens are from other parts of the world.
I am highly suspicious of food which takes a long time to be imported.
There's nothing like a roast parsnip, you don't want them too chewy though.
I have always been fascinated by plants. I have always preferred plants to human beings. They give me an enormous amount of solace.
Everybody in their life has a list of what they want to do: I'm very lucky indeed to do one thing on that list.
I'd rather be left to my own private life as much as be possible.
