James Wong #39;s Exotic Fruit for UK gardens! - Homegrown Revolution
"Wanna turn your front lawn into an exotic fruit plantation? Then believe it or not you #39;re just a couple of packets of seeds away! With tried and tested varieties specifically tailored to our less than balmy climate. You don #39;t need your own private island to grow a taste of the tropics!" James Wong is on a personal mission to get Britain growing exciting and interesting crops with his Home grown Revolution. The fact that the British diet has become infinitely more exciting and varied over the past 50 years or so has not been reflected in the types of crops that we grow. In this clip, James tells us about his take on the humble garden salad with harvests from his own front yard garden. James Wong has trialled literally hundreds of varieties in his garden and for his best-selling gardening book, Homegrown Revolution, has only chosen varieties that are extremely easy to grow, taste fantastic and are decorative in the garden. In this clip, James tells us about exotic fruit that you can grow in your UK garden! Why not try the sticky pineapple flavoured fruits of Inca Berries which come wrapped in a pretty paper lantern! Or imagine slicing into a UK grown Musk Melon still warm from the sun on a balmy summer evening. How about plant your own superfood bush with the delicate fruit of goji berries that hand on the branches like little red Christmas lights. A personal favourite of James #39; are the intensely fragrant fruit of Alpine Strawberries, which have a poolside-cocktail flavour ...From:Suttons SeedsViews:2 0ratingsTime:01:27More inHowto Style
