Product Description
Review
Essential reference and inspirations for the novice and experienced gardener alike. --Good Book Guide
Product Description
"The Gourmet Gardener" is about gardening for self-indulgence. It explains how to grow top-quality produce the flavour and freshness of which are impossible to find in the shops. Bob concentrates on the varieties that will give you the most return on your labours - not necessarily in the form of bumper crops, but in the form of superior taste and enjoyment. This book comes with practical advice on growing the tastiest varieties of fruit, nuts, vegetables, herbs, salads and even flowers, as well as advice on how to choose the right plant for your needs and how to improve its performance. A chapter on preserving your produce rounds off the book so that you can eat your garden treats throughout the year.

Useful guide for growers and gourmets!,
By threebritsabroad (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gourmet Gardener: Everything You Need to Know to Grow and Prepare the Very Finest of Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables (Paperback)
A Really Useful Book. I grow a lot of fruit and veg (and have done for many years), yet still found this an inspiring read - so much so that, as soon as I'd finished the chapter on grapes, I ordered three vines for growing in pots!
It provides easy to understand advice on growing quality organic crops that can't be beaten for flavour and freshness. I'd recommend this book for any grower or gourmet, especially if your heart and mind tells you that you could easily reduce your food miles and your taste buds tell you that you can eat better whilst your at it!

A seaweed drench for seasoned growers!,
This review is from: Gourmet Gardener: Everything You Need to Know to Grow and Prepare the Very Finest of Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables (Paperback)
I agree with 3britsabroad that this is an inspiring read for even an experienced food grower (except I went out a bought 4 vines!). In fact I think its a great book for any seasoned grower that needs to refocus or tighten up on quality. I will try very hard to plant up my new strawberry bed "a stride apart" and my new blueberry bushes have had a bog environment created for them. Yet again Bob is showing us we can do better with out costing the Earth.
This would also be as excellent gift for any aspiring food grower as Bob's experience will save them many years of frustration and poor croppping at the same time as inspiring them to have a go!
