Trade ReviewAn inspiring new book ... lays out a successional growing programme, month-by-month, vegetable-by-vegetable which will almost double the productivity of the plot and really keep you in vegetables all year round. * Caroline Foley, Guardian *
Of the many new books on growing your own food, this is the one I've been waiting for. * Michael Viney *
What makes it unusual, if not unique, is that it's firmly based on hands-on experience gained in one of the more difficult parts of the country for growing things ... although it's aimed at beginners I learned a lot from it, and I'm hardly a beginner at this stage. * Dick Warner, Irish Examiner *
An accessible and essential guide to growing undercover, it offers fluff-free growing instructions and a monthly planner for everyday and unusual crops year round. * Vegetarian Living *
