Episode 18: Spuds

After the wettest July in memory, Tommy and his colleague Dickie are lamenting the impact the weather has had on their crops - and they're trying to find the positives. While the haul of Meadowsweet and ripe Strawberries are lower than hoped, the tomatoes, root vegetables, and berries are continuing to flourish.

We learn about the role that Meadowsweet plays in Tommy's recipes. And Dickie has his own ideas for how tomato growers can make the most of their bumper haul.

And Tommy is joined by the self proclaimed 'Potato Queen' Poppy O'Toole, to explore her love of the humble spud, how she built her following, and who her ultimate dinner guest would be.
