A reissue of Home-grown Vegetables (2007). A practical and inspirational guide to growing your own squashes, greens or root vegetables.

What could be tastier than vegetables, picked straight from your back garden? Growing your own vegetables can be a rewarding pastime and you don’t need a big garden or allotment to cultivate your favourite vegetables, as they can grow well in containers and smaller urban spaces.

This beautiful and practical guide celebrates the produce of allotments and gardens, from carrots and courgettes to artichokes and aubergines. Each vegetable entry details all you need to know about sowing, growing and harvesting with essential gardening notes and tips for successful planting.

With beautiful illustrations throughout, you will find all you need for a healthy garden bursting with fresh produce all year round.
