According to this story in The Telegraph, a woman in Portsmouth has been diagnosed as suffering from a phobia of vegetables. She can just about handle potatoes but even the sight of a carrot runs the risk of provoking a panic attack. I can't imagine too many schoolkids are reading the Telegraph but can you [...]

Having a flick through some old magazines I came across an article in Icon about this urban farm called PS1. It was an installation in New York by architects Work AC . In cardboard tubes, 50 varieties of vegetables are grown, irrigated by collected rainwater and heated via solar panels. The spaces between some of the tubes allow for people to pop up and collect the vegetables! I think it's a different...

The question of whether humankind ate vegetables and grain first or meat first can be answered several ways. The American lifestyle writer Harvey Diamond expressed it thusly: You put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit; if it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I’ll buy you a new car. Nearly a century ago Samuel Butler noted that man is the only animal that can remain on friendly...

This is the first year I've attempted to grow winter crops and, so far, it's not going too badly. Pictured are my winter radishes growing in their freecycle skyscraper. Their progress is much slower than their summer brethren but they're still trundling along in a persistent manner. Also pictured is my mizuna, the original sowing went the same way as the first crop of radishes - chomped by Very Hungry...

... from one of the allegedly finest vintages in my lifetime – 2005. On opening it was quite vegetal – root veg to be precise, supported by a twist of plum, a leaf of sweet cabbage and just a smudge of Eton Mess. Later on, it became more red – beef tomato, still with the slight sweetness of meringue but the meatiness of a red wine jus. You can’t beat a complex wine that changes as it warms, as it airs,...

Winter is nearly upon us, so what better time to start preparing for spring and starting the IM veg patch! We've been thinking about it in the office for some time, so with half an hour on our hands last week we hunted around The Old School for any junk we could use for containers (we didn't think the boss would be too keen on us digging up the playground). We found an old dog basket, a filing cabinet...

I'm behind three pages. I'll catch up eventually but I hate being behind. I was nodding off at the keys last night at 9 o'clock. Still watched Sons of Anarchy after because I love that show and I could just veg. Part of the problem is that my little guy is still sick and wakes up each night between 3 and 4 am coughing. He eventually gets back to sleep after I get up and give him water and get up all...
