Every page answers the question you have in the moment: is it too early, how deep, how far apart, and what's eating it.

Month pages

What to sow under cover, sow outside, plant out and harvest each month, plus the jobs that matter and the mistakes to avoid.

100

Crop cards

One page per crop: 61 vegetables, 17 herbs, 17 fruits and 5 cut flowers. Sowing depth, spacing, timings, varieties to look for and what grows well nearby.

Problems solved

Slugs, blight, carrot fly, bolting, clubroot and more. What you'll see, and exactly what to do about it.

Made for UK gardens

Written for our weather, not someone else's

Timings that fit where you live

Months are set for central England, with a frost table showing how much earlier to start in the south and how much later in the north and Scotland.

Beginner to allotment

Dots on every card show how easy a crop is, so a first-timer can start with sure things and an old hand can push on to celeriac and melons.

Pots, beds or a plot

Every crop says whether it grows well in a container and how big the pot needs to be, so a patio counts too.

Questions

Good to know

Is this a printed book?

No, it's a PDF you download straight after paying. It reads well on a phone or tablet, and every page prints on A4 at home.

I've never grown anything. Is it for me?

Yes. Start with the welcome pages and the crops marked with one dot: radishes, salad leaves, courgettes, potatoes in a bag. The month pages tell you what to do next.

I live in Scotland or the north. Will the timings work?

Yes. The frost table shows your area's usual last and first frosts and how many weeks to shift the months by.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay £15 once and the handbook is yours. Nothing renews.

What if it's not for me?

Email us within 14 days and you'll get your money back in full. No forms.
