Yesterday, our book No Dig Organic Home and Garden won the Peter Seabrook Practical Book of the Year at the Garden Media Guild Awards at the Savoy in London.
We are absolutely blown away, totally delighted!
This is what the judges said about the book. (Click on the image to link to the full list of GMG award winners).
More later, it’s back to reality now (we got back from London late morning today) and I have gardening to do and a weekend course to prepare for 🙂

Absolutely thrilled for you both 🙂 – so brilliantly well deserved!
Thank you!
Thank you 🙂
Very well-deserved too! I absolutely love the book and have already bought another copy to give to a colleague of mine, who has an allotment. Well done to you both!
Thank you!
Aw that’s fantastic and well deserved Congratulationd to both of you, Sue
Thank you Sue 🙂
Congratulations! It’s a great book and deserved to win :0)
Thank you Ruth!
Congratulations to you both . Brilliant news , well done xx
Thank you!
Huge congratulations to you and Charles. It’s on my Christmas wish list. To add to my collection of all Charles other books. They really changed everything for me 😊🌱
Thank you Richard. I’ll let Charles know.
Please do Steph. I read all of Charles’ books over the winter of last year. Literally one after another! The no-dig is just one element of the approach you and Charles take that makes growing fruit and vegetables so much easier and satisfying. I learned so much about the way the season can be managed better by growing more in modules for example and Charles’ sowing calendar is such a useful guide for starting crops off at the optimum time. Best wishes to you both.
Thank you, what lovely comments, we really appreciate them 🙂
Hurray! Congratulations! Well done 🙂 Xx
Thanks Diane. I was amazed!
Didn’t quite manage a Welsh visit this year… 2018? 🙂
Richly deserved. I enjoy all of your books, but this tone seems to top them all. I’m hoping to see a presentation in the Nottingham area at sometime soon. Cheers!
Thank you!
Well done – another to add to the christmas list perhaps!
Thank you. You grow some interesting veg I see. I’m puzzling over what to do with about 20 Horned Melons which are ripening on my kitchen table. So spikey!
It sounds like they store pretty well at a warm room temperature. Have you tried them before? Sounds like there are lots of ways to use them as well as neat from the skin. If they take longer to ripen, than other melons, I expect they would be a big tricky for me. They look like fun though!
The are ripening certainly but no idea how long they will store. Very sharp spikes!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
