The articles published here are selected from a life's work. They describe everything from a rollicking evening's dancing after husking maize with French farmers to visiting ancient Portuguese gardens excavated in sand dunes, life at a small experimental market garden in East Anglia, Larkcom's travels in China and Japan in quest of oriental vegetables and the creation of a new garden at an Irish farmhouse.
