And thank you for stopping by. I’m Mark Diacono - writer, walker, cook, gardener, and photographer. I live in the south west of England. I’ve written over a dozen books, winning Food Book of the Year twice, and Garden Book of the Year twice. More here
I look forward to more posts, a year at otter farm is one of my favourite books and I often refer to the new kitchen garden. A year at otter farm, and you has inspired lots at our smallholding. I’m really pleased that I also got the opportunity to visit you at otter farm. Look forward to reading more and please post about more unusual edibles, Kate
Hello Mr D., your fingers got bored and want to go out to play again? Gardens and ‘other’ intertwined is always a good place. Much luck with the journey.
Hello Mrs R. I'm always writing but I like the way substack do things...the potential for it being a community here rather than writing for a reader it's harder to chat with, to learn from etc
I'm really please to see you have a newsletter now, your books have really inspired the plants we grow in our garden and we had the pleasure of meeting you at The good life festival a few years ago and finding you were as nice in person as in print! Liz
