A sweet and lovely, opinionated gardener's dodderings on his must-haves and how to prepare them from soil to table. The photos make me want to get out there and mulch my rows. Or better yet, assign Fergus to do it for me.

I love Christopher Lloyd - hilarious and helpful. I just picture him bumbling around his cavernous kitchen with his gardener outside pruning the apple trees... idyllic.
