Review
Renowned gardening writer Barbara Segall shares her many years of gardening experience in her guide "Practical Kitchen Gardening". Specifically aimed at the smaller gardens so often found in towns and cities today, it is a helpful and informative look at the opportunities that can arise to grow your own fruit and vegetables in these tiny spaces. Full of inspirational photographs and innovative ideas, Barbara Segall shows how you can grow produce in an attractive manner thus gaining the best of both worlds - a pretty garden together with plenty of home-grown fruit and vegetables. From rooftop terraces to courtyards, tiny green plots to containers, she demonstrates the scope of growing methods available in limited spaces. No longer is the only option the ubiquitous growbag. Hanging baskets full of strawberres, windowboxes full of herbs. These will last far longer than annual flowers such as petunias and lobelias and give more enjoyment at the same time as being a visual feast. From site assessment and preparation, Barbara Segall takes you through the choice of fruit and vegetable suited to your particular aspect and situation, tackles pests and diseases, and offers attractive garden plans too. Written in easy to understand language a novice can understand, the book should incite more people to "grow their own". You will be surprised at how easy and rewarding it is to do. - Lucy Watson
