Laura, who farms about 150 different types of vegetables in the summer, will appear alongside hosts Jules Hudson and Helen Skelton.

Extravagant food from across the globe is grown at the farm off Cockering Road, including yellow peas, a Mexican tomatillo and six types of courgette.

Laura said: "There are so many different varieties of things out there that people don't know exist as no one is growing them but they taste so much better than the kind of veg you find in the supermarket so I decided I might as well try and grow them."

This Week on The Farm will air tonight (Tuesday) at 8pm on Channel 5.
