I missed this last night so will watch on iplayer later.

It is on again next week. They was in spring, but next week it's summer.

For those who missed the first episode (me included) it is being repeated on BBC2 & 2HD on SATURDAY @ 6.45pm.

Now set up to record the series...

I do love Raymond Blanc though. I usually have to translate for my husband, his enthusiasm is fabulous, I've never tried his recipes though. I loved it when he said he wished he had a bigger mouth to cram more food in as its so good! : D

I slept through it, probably down to me and not the programme. Thank goodness for I player

Have finally finished watching this series, mainly to clear some space on the planner! What I have been trying to find is a list of varieties that they grew. I expect they're in the book but reluctant to spend £10 even second hand to get a list.

[WendyC]

Just bumping. Anyone help with a list of varieties?

Thanks for those. I was especially interested in the strawberry variety.

Thanks for those. I was especially interested in the strawberry variety.

At Kew they were Sovereign, Buddy and Marshmello but they were eaten. Raymond wanted a couple of newer varities.

[WendyC]

Ah thanks for that. I thought he was very restrained on finding the strawberries had been eaten!

Thanks for this recommendation - combines two of my favourite genres of telly, so definitely going to my "to watch" list.

It was on last March. Not sure whether it is still available on IPlayer.

Here are the recipes from the programmes and they include the veg varieties.
