Programme six: French Beans
Who knew French Beans were so easy to grow? Michael Kelly says French Beans are one of the most straight forward vegetables to grow – both the climbing green, and dwarf purple varieties, do really well in the glasshouse, raised bed and container. This week Michael shows viewers how to grow their own.
Karen O’Donohoe heads to All Together Now, a new festival held in Portlaw, Co. Waterford with sustainability as well as art and music at its core. Organisers made the festival a plastic free zone with traders directed to only use compostable packaging – no single use plastics allowed!
Michael visits Tramore Educate Together to serve pupils a delicious lunch as part of Eat Together, a social eating programme co-developed by GIY with the school, to help children connect with food by sitting down to eat at a table instead of wolfing down half a sandwich.
And chef Katie Sanderson makes Beans on Toast – but in a whole new way.
