River Cottage

Details

Unseasonal rains flatten Hugh's potential hay crop, and the tomatoes in his polytunnel are stricken by blight. Sheep shower Joanna helps Hugh groom one of his sheep—coincidentally also called Joanna—for competition in a show. Hugh joins Nick and Paddy to forage for a full dinner of wild garlic, pigeon, and Chicken of the Woods stuffed in a 6-pound giant puffball. Hugh traps signal crayfish in his river, and prepares a leg of lamb in hay. At the livestock show, Hugh's sheep wins second prize.
