Vegetable Growing, Allotmenting, Preserving & Storing, Jams & Keeping Poultry / Chickens!
As you probably gathered from the site, we’ve been living a frugal life and growing vegetables for over 40 years. In our books we simply share our experience and knowledge.
Take control of your life, grow your own food and preserve it.
The first book, Vegetable Growing Month by Month, has become one of the most popular gardening books in the UK because it gives straightforward advice for growing vegetables. Whether you are growing on a patio in containers or an allotment plot, there’s help in here.
You can buy copies direct from us or you can buy from online bookstores like Amazon. The books are also available from all good bookstores and now in many garden centres as well.
