Description

A complete month-by-month guide to growing your own fruit, vegetables and herbs at home or on the allotment.

A large number of us are discovering the joys of growing our own fresh food. However, knowing what to do in each month can be daunting. Beautifully illustrated with photographs and watercolour artwork, The Vegetable Grower's Year helps to plan out a grow-it-yourself year, from ground preparation to seed sowing, planting and harvesting.

Each month includes a full list of which vegetables, herbs and fruits to sow, grow and harvest each month, as well as two delicious recipes that provide inspiration of how to make the most of your freshly-grown seasonal produce. The book also showcases different gardening approaches, from forest gardens and wildlife gardening to growing in vertical spaces, showing that there isn't just one way to grow; different styles suit different people, locations and aims.

With a yearly planner and easy-to-follow lists of jobs to do, this practical book is the perfect gift for beginner and experienced gardeners alike.
