A plot the size of a pocket handkerchief, a window box or a big backyard? Whatever you've got, you can grow your own vegies

Growing vegetables is a rewarding activity in every way. First, there's the fun of choosing what to grow. Then there's the satisfaction of preparing your pots or garden plot and sowing seeds and planting seedlings. Next comes the pleasure of cultivation and care. And finally ... the magical moment arrives when your vegetables are ripe and ready to harvest and cook. Enjoy the fruits of your labour!

Brimming with information on old favourites as well as unusual plants and crops suitable for a child's garden, plus organic options and gardening know-how, this invaluable reference turns the dream of 'growing your own' into reality. Whether you have a large garden or a few tubs on a patio, you'll learn what to grow and how to grow it, and find information on how to cook it, too.
