Hopefully appropriate to mark here the recent death of Ken Muir, aged 85, whose name to many will be synonymous with GYO fruit growing.... RIP.

Oh- I'd not heard he'd died!

Thanks for letting us know

[Flummery]

His name always makes me think of strawberries and strawberries make me smile. A lovely legacy - smiles!

[Nicos]

Has he got a plant or seeds named after him???

A nursery isn't it?

[Flummery]

Yes, specialist fruit grower.

Hi All,

Very sad to loose my Grandad Ken recently.

I've edited together a short interview from BBC Radio Essex when he officially retired in 2001.

Please give it a listen; I think it represents his attitude and friendlyness throughout his personal and business life over the years:
