Gardening in Spain - From Richard & Clodagh Handscombe

Clodagh & Dick Handscombe are experienced gardeners and authors living in Spain.

They say about themselves:-

"In our holistic garden and allotment we grow flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruit and are largely self sufficient in our needs for a healthy Mediterranean diet. Summer shade for siestas, sundowners, al fresco cooking eating and dining is provided by the shade of mature trees and a colourful naya-covered arched terrace. Sheltered sunny warm winter corners are created by wind breaking boundary plant clad walls and internal hedges. To enable us to produce rich composts for enriching soils for garden beds, containers and the allotment plus invaluable home reared meat and eggs we keep a few chickens and rabbits."

We have now written six books re gardening in Spain including the best seller Growing Healthy Vegetables in Spain and have a regular radio programme on Spanish radio. If you are interested in growing vegetables in the Mediterranean climate or more ideas for growing in a globally warmed southern England the book can be obtained most easily in the UK from Amazon

Sounds pretty wonderful to me! These are the latest articles from their website and I'm sure they will be of interest to anyone thinking of moving to a warm climate or even coping with global warming.

There's a lot in there books that can be applied to growing anywhere, not just in Spain, and they're verywell written and easy to follow - where ever you may be.
