Since the publication of her first book The Cutting Garden Sarah has led the way over the last two and a half decades in introducing a new kind of productive gardening which fuses intense colour, elegance and do-ability, bridging all kinds of gardening from dark rich dahlia glories to subtler smoky modern colours of poppies, roses, sweet peas, and all kinds of vegetable deliciousness. Along the way, Raynor and Moth learn more about the land that envelopes them, find friends both new and old, and embark on another windswept adventure when the opportunity arises. Human consciousness is riveted to seconds, but a split-second time delay in perception means that we are unaware of anything until it has already happened.For more experienced gardeners, it promises to be the new veg growing bible, to be pulled off the shelf for years to come. And then takes you through the year, telling you what you should be planting and harvesting each month, and offering all sorts of practical tips - like how to make your own hazel or birch teepees and climbing frames. For more than thirty years, she has grown veg, run taste trials and ultimately discovered the best edible produce that rewards you with huge yield and delicious flavour for minimal effort.

This book is so attractive that I thought it might be "fluff" but it's actually one of the most informative gardening books I own!

Sarah's philosophy is that it makes you happy to grow something of what you eat, all year round, even if it's only some herbs and salad. Though her findings were initially dismissed and even ridiculed, they are now firmly supported by the data.We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed.
