 Synopsis
This is a TV tie-in for a new BBC TV series "Grow
Your Own Veg!" by TV presenter and highly regarded gardener Carol
Klein, who has collaborated with the Royal Horticultural Society to
create a lavishly illustrated, easy-to-follow, practical and inspiring
beginner's handbook to everything anyone ever needs to know to grow
vegetables, salads, and herbs all year round. "Grow Your Own Veg!"
complements and builds upon the information covered in the TV series of
the same name and provides all the practical know-how to get growing
your own vegetables. Combining Carol Klein's no-nonsense and
enthusiastic approach to gardening, much loved by viewers of
"Gardeners' World" on BBC TV, with the horticultural best practice from
the Royal Horticultural Society, this is a genuinely step-by-step
beginner's guide to growing an aspirational but achievable range of
food plants. Whatever the size of a garden, this is a book to convert
readers to the pleasures of growing and harvesting their own food
plants. From preparing a plot, planning what to plant, and how to grow
any one of the 40 featured food plants, this is a book to which veg
growers can return every year, whatever their level of expertise.
From the Inside Flap
You can't beat just-dug carrots and crunchy crisp lettuce for taste and wholesome nutrition. In Grow Your Own
Veg, Royal Horticultural Society experts reveal the skills you need to nurture 40 different vegetables from plot to plate. With her usual energy and enthusiasm, Carol Klein offers green-fingered advice for growing all your appetizing favourites plus less familiar crops such as rocket, garlic and Florence fennel. Her approach is environmentally friendly and easy, giving all the help you need to succeed. Beginners and experienced gardeners will be inspired by the RHS wisdom that makes this an indispensable
vegetable reference for every gardener's bookshelf.
