In Maarten's vegetable garden, writer and behavioral biologist Maarten 't Hart takes the viewer along to the serene world of his vegetable garden. 't Hart has been growing various types of vegetables for more than thirty years. He learned vegetable gardening from his father and grandfather and lives and eats as much as possible from his own land. According to 't Hart, that is the greatest luxury a person can have: "Nothing is better than a potato from the clay in your own garden, straight from the ground on the plate."
