In this first episode Michael and Karen focus on a household staple - the onion. Easy to grow and very low maintenance, both red and white varieties are sown in the raised bed with Karen holding back some of the sets for container growing.

In this second episode, Michael and Karen take a fresh look at the pumpkin and why it's a fantastic vegetable to grow, cook and eat during the year, rather than just buy, carve and dump at Halloween.

This week's episode is all about the highs and lows of growing a more ambitious vegetable - in Michael and Karen's case, sweetcorn, and all they can say is third time lucky!

Halfway through the series and it's time to introduce the courgette or as Michael Kelly calls it, 'The Vegetable of Mass Production'! Easy to grow in beds and containers so long as it is given plenty of milk (you read that right!), one plant can produce up to 40 courgettes. No wonder growers love to give them as presents at harvest time!

Once a vegetable grown to feed cattle, but now a staple ingredient for juicers everywhere, Kale is the fifth vegetable to feature in this series. This highly nutritious vegetable thrives in both the raised bed and container - despite a pigeon attack that prompts Michael Kelly to cover each of the three varieties sown.

Who knew French Beans were so easy to grow? Michael Kelly says French Beans are one of the most straightforward vegetables to grow - both the climbing green, and dwarf purple varieties, do really well in the glasshouse, raised bed and container.

In this final programme of the second season, it's all about the chili pepper, which is very hot, but also very easy to grow. Chef Katie Sanderson puts the presenters' taste buds to the test with an Indian chilli pickle, tamarind sauce with yoghurt and poppadoms, and Karen O'Donohoe and Michael Kelly can just about stand the heat.

Very informative, learned things I was not aware of. The hosts bring a lot of humor .
I'm not a novice gardener but there is always something to learn. Hesitant at first, being produced in Ireland. I'd like to see how Ireland's weather and seasons compares to the United States. I live in Zone 7. I'm happy with a show that focuses on edibles. I dug out a notebook and began taking notes from the beginning. Please keep them coming.

Best show on Amazon Prime!
This is hubby's and my new favorite show. Every episode is entertaining, uplifting, educational & inspirational. We're excited to start our own raised bed garden - and maybe do some container gardening in honor of Karen - next season. Wonderful show, wonderful organization (Grow It Yourself).

Great inspirational, educational and entertaining show for all ages on Veggies!
Fantastic and entertaining show. Host and co-host show you how to easily grow vegetables in your own yard. They then show you sample ideas of how to prepare and cook those vegetables, and of course they then eat the cooked veggies. It is filmed in Ireland, but was still applicable to my gardening here in New York.
