Jane's Delicious
A - Z of Vegetables
Jane’s Delicious A-Z of Vegetables is a detailed organic growing guide to the most commonly-grown vegetables - plus many new and unusual ones now available. The book has in-depth information on how to sow, plant, feed, water, protect, harvest and eat them, as well as save their seed for future generations.
Ten years ago growing your own food was a fringe activity. Gardeners were lucky if there was more than one shelf of vegetable seedlings at their nursery. Much has changed since then. The food growing trend shows no sign of slowing down as, increasingly, people realise how easy, healthy and gratifying it is. This book includes the many new techniques, knowledge, products and ideas that Jane has discovered in the years since her first book came out.
Written in her quirky, practical style and lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs for easy reference, Jane’s Delicious A-Z of Vegetables is a one-stop guide to growing any type of vegetable organically. Retailing for R280, Jane’s Delicious A-Z of Vegetables, will be available on shelf from October – just in time for Spring gardening.
