punnet of plums from your tree, a handful of gooseberries;
home-grown nuts and herbs, and a few freshly laid eggs from your
hens - all enjoyed in your own small plot. What could be more
satisfying? The Garden Farmer is an evocative journal and monthly
guide to getting the most out of your garden throughout the year.
Whether you are a keen gardener looking for inspiration, or just
starting out and wanting to rediscover and reclaim your patch of
earth, Sunday Telegraph garden-columnist Francine Raymond lays the
groundwork for a bountiful year of garden farming. Maybe you would
like to get outside more, grow a few essential vegetables, some
fruit trees or bushes for preserving, and create a scented kitchen
garden to provide for you year round. Or perhaps you will raise a
small flock of ducks or geese, or even a couple of pigs? Could this
be the year you decorate your home with nature's adornments,
encourage wildlife back to pollinate your trees and plants, and
spend celebratory hours in a haven of your own creation? Each
chapter of The Garden Farmer offers insight into the topics and
projects you might be contemplating that month, along with planting
notes and timely advice, and a recipe that honours the fruits of
your labour. With just a little effort and planning, every garden
can be tended in tune with nature, and every gardener can enjoy a
host of seasonal delights from their own soil. Keep up-to-date with
Francine's gardening adventures on her blog at
