Gardening

Seasons in my Kitchen Garden charts the evolution of a garden from a derelict paddock (on a 20 acre hobby farm), to a fully functional potager/vegetable garden including orchard, vegetables, herbs and chickens. The entire project will be based on sustainable practices and include organic solutions all sympathetic to the heritage of the site and the history of the area. The changes are charted over the course of a year and documented by the author's photography (to capture cool and warm crops). While the book will be a personal journey through the development of the garden, it also contains practical, step-by-step information to help anyone establish a kitchen garden of their own, whether they have a square metre of soil or half an acre (and more). The book contains the following chapters: Design/Construction and soil improvements/The Orchard/The Vegetables/The Herbs/Maintenance and management.
