Alans comprehensive guide will tell you everything you could possibly want or need to know about fruit and veg and how to grow it, including herbs, baby veg, salads, every-day fruits, plus gourmet or unusual varieties, and how to fit them into todays stylish small gardens. As well as providing the key facts needed to yield good results and what to do when things go wrong, the text is sprinkled with Alans personal observations, anecdotes, culinary tips, and quirky historical uses. The book takes a very practical approach, starting from scratch for the benefit of anyone whos never grown their own before, but is also ideal for those with some experience who might be growing edibles in a new way--perhaps in a small space that needs to look attractive, or on a new allotment. Lavishly illustrated throughout with over 250 photographs and artworks, this inspirational and authoritative fruit and veg bible from the UKs best-selling and most influential gardener will become a classic in the genre.
