The Kitchen Garden

Focusing on plants destined for the dinner plate, The Kitchen Garden is an illustrated guide to growing edible plants from sowing to harvesting. Learn when to sow, what to grow, and how to turn your delicious harvest into a meal.

The book features fifty-five plant profiles, ranging from the everyday to the utterly unique, such as broccoli and cape gooseberries. Each profile includes a hero illustration and a simple table detailing crucial information: when to sow and harvest, growing time, space needed between plants, optimal soil pH, whether the plant will tolerate pots and frost, and each plant's companions and dislikes.

A planting chart summarising the most useful information from the plant profiles is also included, along with guidance on the different climate zones and how best to start your kitchen garden. Emphasising seasons rather than months, the book is a beautiful and practical gift for any garden enthusiast, whether they live in the northern or southern hemisphere.
