We have a much smaller set up in our back garden, where we mainly grow lettuces, carrots and courgettes – we save the allotment for bigger things like potatoes and onions, which don’t require as much care as we only get down there a couple of times a week at the most. Right at the back the ‘towering leaves’ is rhubarb, which came with the plot, and I have since discovered that I like it! Before I would never have gone near rhubarb, it’s funny how ‘growing your own’ changes your views and tastes.

It looks enormous! Bet you’re enjoying the fruits of your labours at the moment – it’s such a good feeling to prepare a meal where most or all of the ingredients were home produced – and it’s also a good feeling that you’re not having to buy it all too.

What are the towering leaves at the back – rhubarb or chard?

Looks great – do you have to spend a lot of time on it?
