Kathy Slack's growing through a Rough Patch

Rough Patch is the name of award-winning food writer, author and veg grower Kathy Slack’s new book (out on February 6, but available for pre-order now), and it’s a warm mix of memoir, a love letter to growing your own, and recipes. It covers a year in Kathy’s life in which a brutal depression meant she left her high-flying city job and, eventually, found solace and purpose growing her own vegetables. She chats to Mick about depression, what advice to ignore and the joy of feeding yourself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
