Basil 'Perpetuo' foliage
A new perennial basil has been a highlight during July

July has been a hot, dry and windy month in the garden – not the best weather for plants or gardeners! Still, there is plenty going on in the AKG and in this episode I take you on a tour of the garden to see what’s growing and what’s going on in the chicken run.

If you’re interested in becoming an Alternative Kitchen Garden Correspondent then read the FAQ, and if you grow unusual edibles then my Vegetable Explorer questionnaire is over on the blog.
