The home cook's bountiful garden

Last year Dr Anna Robinson was a winner in our broad beans giveaway and she invited us to see her planting of them under a key lime tree (Kitchen Garden, May 18, 2021). Last month she emailed to say it was "ripe limes time" so she shared some with a neighbour Rebecca Drew. Their conversation prompted Anna to suggest Beck's garden "growing everything" might be of interest to Kitchen Garden readers.

The family has lived in Aranda since 2000 but, with little children then, Beck only started gardening during the past eight years. Her main interest is growing things that are either expensive or difficult to find in the shops, including samphire, medlars, Tasmanian pink eye potatoes and fruit trees which provide a big harvest for preserving.
