Our Book!

8 Comments

I am so excited to see the press release and cover for the book I have written with Charles, No Dig Organic Home and Garden. It can be pre-ordered here from Permanent Press, the publishers.

It is currently in the process of being edited by the publishers. I’m busy checking every recipe again to make sure 🙂

We’ve also been working on with Charles’ new vegetable diary which is out at the end of the month – I’ve worked as the consulting editor for this publication, hence the ‘we’ part but really it has been mostly a brilliant combination of the talents of Charles’ writing and photos, Lucy and Robert‘s design skills and Elizabeth Balfour’s amazing editing.

I’ve also been busy at Homeacres, at work and  travelling to Ireland for several sell-out no dig workshops taught by Charles. And my own garden too, of course!

Our book explains how to set up a no dig garden and grow food year round even in the smallest of spaces including composting, dealing with pests, sowing, timings, what to grow, crop protection…

ideas for creating seasonal plant based food, based on the meals I make for our courses:

homegrown salad with edible flowers
beetroot ready to be roasted
A course lunch
Cooling on a towel
Some of my home canned stores

Exciting times! The book is published spring 2017.
