We've not always had the benefit of an allotment or even a garden but we've always grown our own. This book tells you what you can achieve and how to do it even if all you have is a balcony.

I won't pretend you can practically grow everything in tubs, some things just don't make sense to grow without space. But there is an awful lot you can grow. Not just vegetables either, you can even have an apple tree in a pot (if you pick the right variety)

This simple, straightforward guide, written in plain English with black and white illustrations, is not designed for the coffee table. It's a manual to help those who really want to provide something for the table by their own efforts.

The chapter list will give you a good idea of what's covered:

• At a Glance Guide
  A quick list of what you can realistically grow and where
• Introduction
  Some general background to the book and my experiences
• What to Grow in and Where
  Some ideas you may not have had about places to grow your own
• Successional Growing
  The trick to maximising production from small spaces and pots.
• Composts and Fertilisers
  What composts are best to grow different types of plants, how to adapt commercial composts and how to make your own, of course.
• Seeds and / or Plants
  When it makes sense to grow from seed and when you might be better off buying in plants. What to buy and from where.
• Tools and Water
  Some guidance on what tools you may and may not need. Ways to ensure your plants are watered even if you're not there for the weekend.
• Vegetables
  A list of vegetables, their suitability for growing in containers or small spaces and best methods for each one.
• Fruit
  As with vegetables but covering fruit. You'll be surprised to find some fruits are better grown in containers even if you have a large garden.
• Herbs
  List of herbs, how and where to grow them. Includes those suitable for growing indoors in the kitchen.
• Glossary
  A quick list of the specialist gardening terms you may come across and what they mean
• Further Reading and Information
  Includes some useful suppliers
• Index
  A comprehensive index so you can look things up easily.

What's been said about Vegetable Growing Month by Month, John Harrison's first book.

‘Having just received John Harrisons book On Vegetable Growing Month by Month, I have to say that it’s definitely going to be a well thumbed volume, particularly by those who want to grow vegetables for the first time.  

Forget about any glossy pictures, what’s in this book is solid words of advice, written in plain to understand English from a grower who’s had frustrating years of experience behind him in trying to grow nutritious vegetables, whilst at the same time running a business and raising a family. 

Everyone will benefit from this book and I found the glossary at the back, which explains gardening terminology in a way that everyone will understand, to be extremely useful. It will certainly have a place on my extensive gardening book shelf.’

This book is the most helpful tool in my garden shed. My hoe is a close second, but this book covers so much and I have a constant bookmark on the current month to be sure I am doing what needs to be done, and then flick forward every few weeks to check what is coming up.

The books main body is divided up into the different months with the tasks that should be done outlines. One of the features I love - ... - is that every month it tells you what you 'could be' eating. This is great inspiration to plant more, which in my book is a positive influence.

Reviews for Our Other Books

Mr Harrison has produced a well written veg book, that will get you growing your own in no time.

It does exactly what it says on the cover,a good down to earth guide which will be a great book for new and experienced gardeners alike. Just the right size to take out to your veg plot.

Mr R W Braker

John's book offers down to earth advice in a friendly chatty way, keeping an eye to simplicity (and the "have a go spirit") but also offering useful knowledge to help ensure success.

A wealth of information in a book small enough to be brought to the plot for on the spot reference. Highly recommended!

Sal

My son wrote this, he's an author you know. Buy a copy now and he'll sign it for you.

Did I tell you he's an author?

My Mum

You can spend three times as much as this book costs and get lots of glossy photo's and an impressive looking bookcase, but that's all....
The joy of this Book is that it gets down to basics, is well set out and unlike some books, you can get to where you want to easily

Mr R Cannon

A book with personality. I personally enjoyed it and it is great to take everywhere with you. The month by month concept works well and I refer to it on a regular basis. Worth buying especially if you are a beginner.
