"Our chicken house is under an old plum tree with two or three old and not very productive apples close by. Ours love being near trees, sometimes perch in them, like scratching in leaf litter. Great idea I think!"

Elizabeth Musgrave replied to VP's discussion A Taste of the Unexpected by Mark Diacono in the group Book Club"I have my copy too and I am loving it. Straightforwardly written, brimming over with energy and enthusiasm. Not quite ready to blog about it yet as am spinning it out! Yes and yes, to trying both crops and recipes, and delighted to find that some of…"

Elizabeth Musgrave replied to Gillian Carson's discussion Who is your favourite veg TV presenter?"Having already given my vote for Monty, Carol and Alys, I would add that I think Sarah Raven is not great on TV. Her books are really good and I would stick to those!

Elizabeth Musgrave replied to Gillian Carson's discussion What is the best event for food growers in the UK?"I went to the spring one with other garden bloggers and it was great, will definitely go again. The Autumn one sounds more interesting in terms of veg stuff but I don't think I will manage to get there this year.

Elizabeth Musgrave commented on VP's group Book Club"I am like Caroline, I have so many gardnening books they practically need their own room. I love the sound of Mark's new book and have emailed Quadrille in case they are still looking for reviewers. Might be interesting to organise some book…"
