In this timely new book, BBC star and Gardening World‘s thrifty and resourceful Alys Fowler shows that there is a way to take the good life and re-fashion it to fit in with life in the city. Abandoning the limitations of traditional gardening methods, she has created a beautifully productive garden where tomatoes sit happily next to roses, carrots are woven between the lavenders and potatoes grow in pots on the patio. And all of this is produced in a way that mimics natural systems, producing delicious homegrown food for her table. And she shares her favorite recipes for the hearty dishes, pickles and jams she makes to use up her bountiful harvest, proving that no-one need go hungry on her grow-your-own regime.
Good for the pocket, good for the environment and hugely rewarding for the soul, The Edible Garden urges urbanites everywhere to chuck out the old gardening rules and create their own haven that’s as good to look at as it is to eat.

Some Good. Some Horrendous. I had to give this book a one-star rating in spite of the good advice about planning and planting a garden. Those parts appear to be useful. Portions of the section dealing with preserving your harvest were not only bad but criminally bad. Ms. Fowler has apparently had astonishingly good luck making jam and jellies if her idea of “sealing” is to fill up a jar, press a disk of greaseproof paper on top and screw on the lid. (Either good luck or a string of involuntary manslaughter…
View CommentI’m not afraid of growing vegetables any more! I’ve always been intimidated by a vegetable garden, my experience has just been with a handful of flowers around my yard. I don’t have much space so I assumed it was pointless to even attempt a vegetable garden.
