Organic Kitchen Garden enables us all to pick up the gardening fork and tuck into the delights of home-grown vegetables. Carefully explaining how to set up a vegetable patch, prepare the soil, care for your crops and stagger your harvesting times, Juliet and Mike guide us through each month, allowing us to get the most out of every season.
