"Over three years, our flat weedy piece of ground gradually evolved into a highly productive food generating garden. Being almost complete novices at gardening, it didn’t occur to us to record what we were doing during the first two years and it wasn’t until the third year that we realised we could significantly improve our efficiency and results by keeping a record of what we are doing and when. With one book dedicated to the garden - this Garden Companion Handbook - we could record the successes as well as the lessons learned. This Handbook has emerged through our experiences.
It was created to satisfy a gardener’s needs: planning, tracking, growing, harvesting, as well as cooking and preserving the produce.
We hope you enjoy using this book as much as we do." ~Desi & Chris
From the first spade in the ground to where we are today, our blog has documented every step of our gardening journey. "Allotmenting In Pictures" shares the ups and downs, the lessons and the celebrations. We hope you find it useful. All the blogposts will soon be turned into a series of three books - watch this space!
When we are not in the garden, we hang out in our online community. It is free to join and serves as a place to connect with other fellow gardeners. Scan the QR code and your phone will take you to the "Garden Growers" on an App called Discord. Alternatively, click on the picture.
