Nothing, I’m afraid. Very little grows below about 8oC, let alone germinates, so unless you are blessed with a greenhouse (and even that might need heating by now) it’s best to stick to sweeping leaves or head inside and browse seed catalogues ready for next year. What to Harvest Now In my last column, I promised that this month I would explore the full faff of brassica growing. The brassica family includes everything from broccoli and cauliflower, cabbage and sprouts, to mustards and winter greens like mizuna, and the characteristic common to all of them is that they are extremely cantankerous to grow....

Shoulder, leg, and neck are especially good when slow-roasted, as in Georgina Hayden’s slow-roast lamb with fresh dates, while rump and rack of lamb are very tender, so are usually served rare or medium-rare. You can buy a leg or shoulder of lamb deboned or with the bone in. Deboned joints are easier to carve, while bone-in joints tend to have a richer flavour....

With autumn finally here, this roundup is all about using apples, pears, carrots, pumpkins and butternut squash to create a range of cosy and comforting dishes – including delicious pies, hearty curries and warming soups....
